@jgpittenger
LOL! I kind of thought the same thing, but actually I think he's still facing forward. Took me a minute to figure out his position.

Patty, I can't imagine how jazzed you were to not only see this magnificent bird, but to be able to get such great shots.

[Sassik]

Very handsome!

Looks like a cool cape!
