Thanks for all of the comments and suggestions. As someone noted, I did get a little lucky on this one, but it wasn't the only bird shot of the day. I probably took 100 or so to get this one.

My highest voted pic yet! :)

Nice capture, you have cought the right moment. The shadows on the top half distract a bit, but dispite that a good shot.
