Hello Barb

The detailed whites are beautifully rendered! Sure is an odd looking character. He has a large eye that you have caught very well. I can see a faint catclhight there in the eye and maybe you could bring out this catchlight some and it would really compliment the overall capture here.

Thanks for sharing

Wonderfully composed and exposed. I like the open bill and nest building behavior. Not the best looking birds, but they are good parents! Sharon
