I got to say this is a photo of a bird more then a photo of bird watching. To me there is nothing in this photo that show passing time. But as a photo of a bird it is pretty good so a 5

Beautiful bird!

The black and white feathers really pop! The focus on the bird looks pretty good, seems a tad soft, but that could just be from compressing the photo to the needed size.

Good depth of field, but I think the focus may be a bit off (or camera shake). It's a good photo and a good idea, but the lack of sharpness really hurts it. Good idea though!
