Great pose, Ken.  It looks like the wind was blowing pretty well which made for some nice feather positions.

Nice Ken! Marvelous detail and light. I might try more of a 4x5 crop keeping the bird to the right, just to see how it looks. The singing pose is great and a sweet background too. Well done!
