That's really nice - the black background works well.  Would be a tad
nicer if the edges of the bird's feathers in the black areas were just a
little more defined, although that could possibly be my monitor.

In any case - great!

Thanks, Bob! Probably because we have this lake, they seem to limit their 
activities to that immediate area.
We have hoards of crows to take care of spotting the mall. ;(
