Hi Richard, This is a killer; I love everything about it. I almost want to see you crop a bit more from the left as the bird is looking to it's left... (our right). IAC, keep up the great work.
Best, Artie

Gorgeous image! I can't recall a better shot of this species. One to be proud of.

Richard,

Wonderful open beak. The grasses certainly do not detract.

Jim

Enjoy viewing

Holy excrement, that's good. I think it's the best shot that I've ever seen of this species. Excellent.

I really like it. To me the grass creates a nice feel of the bird's habitat and is not a distraction at all.

Richard,

This is top-notch. A vertical to include the feet would be nice too, but I'd certainly have taken it this way as well.

Wow! Another great shot with habitat. You are the master of this style shot. You must spend alot of time lying on your stomach.

This is good the way it is grass and all. I might have tried to go for a portrait of this or as Chas mentioned, back off on the focal length a little, but I still like it.
