LHG_9100 Flasher Pose

Great Blue observered in" Flasher Pose" seems to be a maintenance behavior. Facing the sun with wings drooped while also rapidly breathing with the mouth open and vibration of the throat at the same time to cool themselves. This spread wing posture helps to force parasites into motion for easier removal, or maybe it just feels good.
Great pose and fabulous detail.

Do you remember Arty Johnson's "Dirty Old Man" on Laugh-In (1967-1973)? These remind me of him!

Poor thing. Tell him he can come to OR and be cool

Like your analysis of his behavior - will have to check more carefully if I ever spot another one.
