Wow, I love the yellow color against the deep blue BG Jim. Really makes this an inviting image. Well done!

I agree with Walt regarding the bright yellow color against the blue sky. While I am a USC fan, these are clearly UCLA colors.

Jim, real nice detail and color on this guy. I do wish the branch on the right wasn't closer to the viewer than the bird, because it does make it a tiny bit distracting, but still a nice capture...and I know how hard it is to get one of these guys in the open anyway.
