I really enjoy seeing & photographing these birds, maybe because they're one of the first signs of Spring in Nothern NJ.

Thanks for looking.

All comments & critiques welcome.

Maybe another RWBB but a very nice one at that! Very sharp with nice detail in the black. I like the line of the perch and placement of the bird, it is a very graceful composition.

Ed,

This is a really great RWBB shot! The background is perfect, the pose looks, well, posed, and the perch is great. The call and display, along with the leafing perch really shout spring. The exposure is good, too.. detail throughout. is he grabbing two branches with his left toes? Congrats!

Ed, I like the clean perch and the BG. The image appears a little heavy on the contrast, but I am viewing on my laptop, so that may be my issue. Nice capture with the singing behavior.
