Love the perch!  Funny that he would choose to have to hold onto a small vertical snag, rather than just sit on the horizontal  branch! Sounds just like other  little boys I know.
Delightful image!

Nicely composed on the unusual perch, Ken.  Good exposure and lighting.  I enjoy subtle details, like how his hanging tail seems to be copied by the small drooping branches on the snag.
