Not sure I like the bg, your opinion solicited.

Eastern Kingbird with crown patch showing. Perhaps due to its having just chased a larger bird and successfully getting it to exit the area?

Nice Larry, it's like looking through a dream to your subject. Nice detail and I appreciate the info on the crown patch.

I have photographed several Eastern Kingbirds without seeing the crown patch. Nice catch.
I am not so sure about dreamy background. If the bird were larger it might work, but as it is the background just calls too much attention to itself.

to much background, not enough bird, but still a nice job on capturing the crown; I didn't realize that Eastern Kingbirds had such a crown

I may re-edit this and try something else with the bg. Thanks for the comments.
