Sandy, I really like how the fan palm in the background sprays out and across the frame. Beautifully done!

Thanks, Brian - ID corrected.
This is Arizona, so the BG is a fan palm.

Great looking bird, striking background. The food item in the beak is a nice plus.

Lovely shot Sandy!. I like the out of focus pine needles in the BG creating nice pattern.
