Another good one Howard, I like the pose and background. Looks hungry enough.

I like the clean background and interesting story about the bird's behavior

Beautiful shot Howard of course the spoken chirps make it but so does the simplicity and uncluttered perch and BG. VERY NICE!

Didn't know that phase ended, Howard. Great pose and action. We've still got a few weeks before we start getting the newbies.

Great shot with that demanding expression of a hungry bird! When I first saw it I thought, "Boy, someone is catching an earful!"
Love that simple background.
