Red-winged Blackbird

This is from last May.  I usually try to get closer to birds, but I liked the background so I decided to try something different.

Canon 60D, Canon 70-300@300mm  f11, 1/160, ISO 800

I appreciate all comments and critiques.

Simple, clean, and very effective image!
Like the comp, BG, and pose - 
Nice work!

This just screams it si spring Barb. I think you have hinted at what might help this shot a bit, and that is a tighter crop, maybe a bit off all around. The BG is a really nice color.
