The cormorants, herons, and egrets are busy building their nests in our local rookery. I just love watching them and taking photos. They are just so industrious.
Converted from raw. Removed two dust spots with healing tool. Adjusted levels and slight sat. Cropped, resized and USM. Saved for web.

Great idea. The shadows on the bird are a bit too overwhelming. They take away from the textures of the plumage. Almost looks like a silhouette. Too bad you couldn't run under him with a big reflector disk to add some light to the underside.
This is an excellent capture of a flying bird and the twigs make it extra special. Unfortunately I think this picture would work better in another challenge where you could crop it to give more space in front of the bird than behind.
