How did they get the head on backerds? Seriously, beautiful shot. rb
Beautiful shot. The bird is so pretty too! I rarely get to see many unique birds around here…well I see falcons and hawks sometimes, but not very often.
Just like Arby said, How do they get their head backwards?
I was going to ask that! Are the heads always backwards like that?
Yes the head is always backwards.
Otherwise it would be a Golden-Backed Woodpecker.
you people are wicked.
