great. the photo shows me another race of the species we have here in the U.S. I think you have done a great job of showing the world a bold little bird.

Åh! Being a Swede living in Asia since several years, this makes me nostalgic. Perfect shot of one of the loveliest birds to watch during the long Scandinavian winters. Beautiful capture!

I like the colours of the bird being in the center. But I think you should have some artist comments.

This is a magnificent shot. The Composition is excellent, the Dynamic Range is perfect, great color and fine detail.
I see that you are not putting copyright signatures on your work. What you have is very close to what you need. All you need is a © and the year you took the photo and you are done. I think your photos deserve to be protected from misuse and piracy. It is super easy to do. Once you place this signature on the image, it is legally copyrighted all over the world.
Your Copyright must be located on the image you are posting, but not on your original, just the copy you are posting on the internet. In other words, it does no good to place the copyright signature in your comment area on the DA page.
You can use ANY legible font, stylized any way you want, or you can draw it by hand and use graphics. It can be horizontal, vertical, at an angle, or like an ocean wave. It can be any size or color you want (even mixed sizes and colors). Spaces and punctuation do not matter. It can be located anywhere on the image, and it can be partially transparent, as long as it is visible.
The three required elements of your Copyright Signature are (in any order):
1. Your legal name, or your Tradename (DA Name).
2. The © symbol exactly as shown, either drawn or typed.
MAC: option and g keys pressed at the same time : Opt+g.
PC: Hold down Ctrl and Alt at the same time and press c : Ctrl+Alt+c.
3. The year the image was created, followed by each year it was changed.

ETC.
There are some artists I have seen who have used creativity in their copyright signature, as seen here:
Gackt by priteeboy [link]
Devil May Cry 3 - Dante by priteeboy [link]
Story Time by Healzo [link] , and a different version:
Going Down by Healzo[link]
This is an example of the signature being overlaid on top of the © symbol: Caged [link] .
The CROP TOOL is the biggest threat to your Copyright Signature, so placing your Copyright Signature along the edge of your work is not a good idea. Some artists incorporate their signature into their artwork. See how this artist ran her signature along the shirt/neck line Jensen Ackles - Dream Brother [link] (note: the © is missing) and an apple a day [link] (note: the © and year is missing).
Some Signatures actually look good with the art, like this one It's a new day
[link] , although it is missing the year.

I really like this shot, would you mind if I printed it and used it as a reference for an inking? I'd give you credit as a reference work of course.

64mm you got to have come pretty close to the bird... or croped like hell.
