Beautiful composition, Ken. The bird stands out nicely from the varying soft background greens.

Excellent! I would consider cloning out the bright thing on its bill.

I think this is a difficult bird to get a good photo of, and this is a really good photo of one.

Very nice- the gray stands out so well with the nice green BG. The object on the bill is my only nit.

Beautifully presented CB, Ken!
The softish green BG gives this image a painterly feel!

I agree with Christina this is a difficult bird to get a good shot of but you have been successful. The greys are so well differentiated on the bird. Most shots that I've seen and my own the bird looks so much more drab.
Very nice shot of difficult bird showing its beauty.

The excellent BG helps this well posed catbird really stand out.
