Very nice! I shoot at a raptor rehab place occasionally and I always find getting enough DOF when you are so close is always tricky...

For sure, I cropped a few things out (mostly orange caution tape), and had to trash a couple of good photos because DoF was in the wrong place, and I had beaks in focus, but the rest of the bird was just noticeably out.
