Nice series Alan. Was it windy - there seems to be movement in the feathers in #3?

I like all 3 however the first one gets more of my attention. Great perch , bokeh and lots of detail in the well exposed bird. Nice work!

Nice series of shots. The first one looks fantastic with a very nice pose, excellent OOF background and lovely colors. I also like the fetaher details in these shots. Nice set!
