Gorgeous! Perfect light, too. Do you have the VR version? Looks rock solid.

Excellent shot Doug. Good color and detail along with the diagonal created with the horizontal crop. The capture of the turned head, indicating movement, turns a static shot into a more pleasing rendition. OOF background gives good separation from the bird.
