Taken at the Chula Vista Nature Center (CA). Although it's sad to see the birds caged, particularly the predatory birds, all of the birds there are being cared for because they were badly injured or would not be able to survive by themselves in the wild for some other reason.

A shy critter to be taking a shot durign the day! Nice composition. You might try experimenting with cropping closer, as the background doesn't add a whole lot to this image.
Gee! How did you come across this little guy? What a perfect picture. The sun falling on him is so good. I like the way he's looking straight on. You have a very good picture here.
Nice catch. A couple of suggestions, #1 needs more contrast, a bit too grey. #2 crop in on both sides to get rid of the man made fencing, would look more natural that way (2 inches on left, 1 on the right).
Great capture, but the colors seem a touch muted to me. Perhaps overexposed in the foreground. Maybe some adjustments in contrast/brightness, or color saturation would help.
