hahahaha!! this is one where misreading the title can produce funny results.

I read “Loggerhead Strike” and was expecting to see a photo of a picket line. Instead I discovered this little guy, by himself on a wire. I puzzled over it for several seconds before I reread the title.

The expression on his face kind of mimics the one I had! 🤣

  Isn’t it a neat looking bird? Like a Bandit I think. Thank you so much Joey!

He looks like he’s snubbing you – “no, you can’t have my picture.”

  Hahaha! I didn’t notice how it’s beak/bill is turned up just so like it is snubbing me! I thought it was striking a pose so I could get its best side.
  
  It was surprisingly cooperative for a minute or so before getting spooked.

    Maybe he was showing you his best side. We can go with that 🙂
