After a winter with about four species of small birds, the variety has kicked up a notch with a Pine Siskin and the first Goldfinch of the year. Perhaps others will follow. This is of course a Pine Siskin.

Hi David, nice bird and perch with fine details. Love all that moss and the background is complimentary too. Subject nicely positioned in the frame. Did you do some post processing at the bottom of the perch where it nearly touches the frame bottom? Looks somewhat cut off there to me. Still a really nice image.
Very pleasing complementary color palette. Good detail and pose in the siskin. And, I like the mossy perch.
I love the setting here–from the moss, to the warm light, to the BG–really nice. Bird looks really good, with fine details. I also noticed the cloning artifact (or something) at the bottom. That’s my only nit.
Very nice - both subject and setting. Excellent color harmony and nice light.
A very striking shot, David! I love the lighting and the complimentary colors of the moss and background. Nice composition and excellent detail too. My only nit is the same as others (the little spot at the bottom). This would really lighten up a room if you hung it!
