Not knowing too much about birds, I thought this was a strange position for it to be in.

We all find ourselves in strange positions Jim. Maybe not hanging upside down whilst preening I grant you. Well spotted though, but you know what they say, "If you've got an itch, then scratch it!"

Now this is really a cool capture. Looks like he had an itch and could not wait to get at it. Great job Jimbob. Now I just read Steve's comment about the itch. It a good one my friend.

The answer is that simple Jim: it's a blue headed hanging bird with flying backwards capabilities, lol.
Wonderful capture mate.

Absolutely Super capture and focus Jimbo!
Somebody must be tracking him. He's got a little band on his leg.

I too noticed it is banded. Did you take this at the zoo? Excellent capture JimboB. Were you standing on your head when you took this shot. lol

This is really a very CUTE capture Jim. This is one really adorable bird and yes I've seen chickadees upside down, but this one sure has captured great detail, clarity and colour of this bird, can't help you don't know what it is, I tried looking it up in my book, but no luck.

Great shot and even better capture! Super work here Jim. The last time I saw a bird hanging upside down was when one got zapped on a high-volatage power line. Poor things feet froze to the line and it was hanging upside down way up there. Looks like this one is fine though just had to get rid of a mighty mite!

Well Jim, if you have an itch, you just gotta go for it no matter where you are or in what position. There is nothing worse than putting up with it!!! lol Great capture you have here. Well done!

Looks like an Olympic gymnast, except they don't tend to lick their armpits when they're on the parallel bars. What a shot JimBob. Is this one you trained yourself?
