Nice, Ken.  I like hte alert pose and image quality is excellent.  While the little pink flower on the right is cute, I think I'd be tempted to crop this to a 4x5 format with most or all of it off the right to decenter the bird a bit more.  If I were really in the mood to mess with it, I'd use the magic healing brush to get rid of the oof vertical grass stems just in front of the bird as they kind of put a pause in the eye's flow through the image.
