Flocks of these little guys visit most winters. They don't sit still for long!

Nice detail, colours, and BG in this little one. A bit of a head-turn would have been nice.
I have mixed feelings about the OOF branch. Since it is so large, it draws my eye away from the bird. I think, if it were mine, I'd get rid of the whole OOF branch and leave only the perch.
I would also try a vertical crop and leave less room on top.

That they don't, Claude. Nice pose on this one, and you caught the yellow markings very nicely. Looks like there's a dust bunny above the backof the head that you might want to remove.

Nice portrait, I like the pose, but do agree a slight turn of the head would add to the image. Also, I would get rid of the OOF branch facing the camera. Good color and detail. Thanks for sharing.
