Thanks guys. The way I crop birds is to try to get the upper 1/3 intersection on the eye with the bird looking into the wider section. I often can't get the eye exactly there without making too large a crop, but I almost always get the height. Sometimes vertical works best, other times horizontal. I don't like square, but 4x5 and 5x7 are good for non landscape stuff.
Your vehicle is a great blind. I moved it so that I had some thistles with clear background and waited. The birds will come, I got 25 shots, but getting the bird clear, good pose and eye contact eliminates most.
Oh, yes, always have the sun at your back. This was diffused light which is even better.
