This looks good to me, Jim. Good detail, natural setting and nice head turn. The OOF tail isn't an issue for me.

Nice as posted. Typical location for a towhee.

Nice detail where it counts and I like the head turn with eye contact, way to go.

Judging by the number of views, this bird must make a pretty dull thumbnail. Ron, Richard, and Jim, thanks for your thoughtful comments.
