A generalized statement like this simply reflects a prejudice unbecoming of a person in the judge role, not to mention providing a semi-literate display of poor diction.
Susan, I'd wear a hat of bemusement and let it wash over me. The feedback says far more about the so-called judge than it does about your image.

I think it reflects highly on your character that you can separate the final status of the submitted image from the asinine comments from one judge. It's welcome to see some graciousness.
If you want more thoughtful comments on your blackbird photo than from the brief feedback via the PEG process, consider posting it in the photo critique section. I will gladly expand on the couple of lines I offered. I think too many judges are saving their "feedback" for the PEG process, when the critique forum provides more value word-for-word for both the artist and the greater community--and since it is not anonymous, for the critic as well.
Regarding nasty feedback via the PEG process, sadly not all adults can handle the "freedom" of anonymity. After I got a few from a photo of mine, I just savored the very few useful ones and figured it was better than zero feedback. I am tempted to campaign for an end to judge anonymity as it would ensure more accountability--OTOH--a part of me really dislikes giving that much leverage to one or two know-nothings.
