Rebel xTi and EF 70-200 2.8 IS III like the colors and I like what (I believe) you are trying to do. But to give you some feedback, I believe there is a bit too much pine in the left and bottom part of the image. I would crop it enough to have the chest of the bird in focus in upper right rule-of-thirds cross point. The you would get attention to the birds, but you would still get the depth and the proper surroundings for the two birds. If you had managed to get the focus point just a little further away from you, you would have had the other bird in focus as well.
Constructive comments and critique always appreciated so I can continue to improve
Thanks for the comment and advice. You certainly read my mind with the effect I was trying to achieve.
It's nice having a bird feeder with lots of trees around for these smaller birds to hide in. Better results will come the more I practice and listen to the community here. Here is another shot, just have to get that branch out of the way.
