Media notes
I didn't expect to see the bird remain in place but its head turned completely around looking at me. I sent the picture to Gary Wiles and Doug Pratt, and said, "Not photoshopped." Gary said, "A very nice photo and is especially unique with the head twisted like that. I don't think birds can twist their heads any more than that in either direction! Doug replied, "Most birds can turn their heads much further than mammals can. This is a beautiful capture of a behavior not often seen."
