I think this is my favourite of the bird shots you have posted Jim. Apart from the bird filling much of the frame and its attractive colours, the limited depth of field has blurred the background which eliminates much of the clutter and detail so often seen behind, and therefore we concentrate on the bird. Lovely shot
