It's no Burrowing Owl, but it's a fine shot of a handsome bird nevertheless ;^)
Detail looks good and background's OK, but I'm thinking a little more contrast or perhaps saturation of the back of the subject might make this "pop" a little better. Please accept that I've never seen a Western Kingbird before, so maybe this is a perfect rendition of it's natural colours, in which case pay my suggest no mind at all Robert ;^)

Very nice comp, Robert. I like the pose, the detail and the background colors. The light looks a little harsh but you handled it well.

Not an easy bird to get within camera range in my experience; I'd be very happy to have taken this. Detail is good, colors look natural to me for the light.

Good, crisp image. The eye contact, perch and colors are spot on imo. Love that bg.
