Nice to see one with natural food. As part of a 30+ year long research project almost all of them have bands on their legs.
Thanks for looking.

Such a nice image...too bad about the bands. Have you tried toning down the reds? It shouldn't affect the image as a whole but might make the bands a bit more inconspicuous.

Banded or not, Karl this is a beautiful image of this super sweet bird. The bug is a huge bonus! Congrats!

Very sharp image in the head area where it counts and the bug is a bonus. A little more depth of focus to get the tail sharper would have been nice.Bob

Beautiful image! Love the soft lighting and lovely background. The bands don't bother me. This image has too much going for it! The depth of focus is fine! What's important is plenty sharp. Thanks for sharing.

The soft light and the soft BG make this for me. The details look great and the bug in the beak beak adds to already nice image. Well done Karl

As you said the prey items makes this one Karl, maybe a touch more room at the bottom if you have it.
