forum: Birds

Marvelous capture, Steve! It's so nice and sharp.This bird's pose confuses my eyes some. The way his head is turned backwards, it appears as though his back is really his front. I think it's kind of funny, how this confuses my eyes...sort of like an optical illusion.

Thanks for your comments on this bird and on the Nuthatch, Mike!

My wife and I had the very same reaction as you regarding the Bluebird's pose. Sort of a, "what the..." moment. The bird did an impressive neck twist just as wings were fluttering, leading to an illusory image.

Ha, ha...well I'm glad I'm not the only one who was a bit confused at first by the position of the bluebird.
