This is definitely one of your best, Troy... I love it...Never mind about the tail, I have done it myself - (I was so excited to get that bird shot that I forgot to double-check in the viewfinder)...Great shot...Bee

Wonderful combination of colors. The branches make a remarkably good setting for this ruffled subject. The eye is penetrating which somewhat offsets the tail crop. Really cool piece!! Fremiet

Well, I do have some cuckoo birds, but not the real thing. ;)
It is a fine shot Troy.

Cool photo! I like how his eye is really sharply focused, and the background is nicely blurred.
