Nice pose, great detail in the whites and blacks, and good eye contact. Maybe he's wondering what happened to his tree that the local beavers apparently cut down.

I like this as posted. Nice exposure; good detail/sharpness. The bird's position is just right to catch the light.

Well done Sandy, fine perch, pose and bcgrd. His feathers are somewhat bedraggled but beyond your control.

Always nice to get a Downy shot, they are not very approachable for me. I like the pose and wonderful background colors, way to go Sandy.
