He was perched on a butt-ugly sheet-metal sign. Really would have ruined the photo to leave any of it in there I think.
In retrospect I think leaving in the top of his pink legs was a mistake. Just a distraction, I think. It was such a severe crop I was really leery of going smaller but now I am rethinking that. Might try a different crop tonight. Or not; might just work on a new photo. We'll see. Thanks to those who commented. And to those who looked. Much appreciated.

The birds I try to photograph don't sit still.
