I usually prefer a blue sky, but in this image I like the stark contrast between the black bird and the almost white overcast sky.

Canon 60D, 70-300 lens@220mm, f/5.6, 1/1000 sec., ISO 800

Excellent, Barb. I like the singing pose and how you left the blacks nearly saturated instead of over-lightening them.
