This is nice. The perch coloration mimics the bird. Nice background. Some will not like the somewhat centered presentation, but I think it works. Well done.

Excellent as presented. You're getting some great stuff from that park - you'll have to show me around there sometime soon.

Wonderful shot of a very entertaining bird. We have these all around the desert behind our place and they can make some of the strangest calls, way to go.

Nice BG and the colors of the bird and the perch/rock match very well. Nice light, nice sharpness. Well done.
