Wow! Just spectacular, Sandy. The background makes it for me. It's light around the bird and that really frames him. Well done.

"Spectacular!" to quote and agree with Jerry.

Handsome guy you got here, Sandy. Comp, exposure, perch and soft BG all work quite well here. Nicely done.

Very nice , particularly for what looks like pretty harsh light. You pulled out good detail throughout, Sandy. Excellent pose and perch and a very sweet background.
If you're in Sierra Vista now, you might want to look for the Vermilion Flycatchers. They have them on the fort and where I saw them was the San Pedro River Riparian Area a few miles east of town. One of the walks goes to a place called Green Kingfisher Pond and there were some nice opportunities on them there. Later in the day, it's a popular fishing hole, but early it's pretty mellow.
