It looks like he is wearing a muffler to silence his bombing JimboB. He does look like one of John Wayne's costars in The Flying Leathernecks.

I give up, Jim. Just how were you able to get so close to this fellah? Fantastic shot with amazing detail and clarity. The focus is perfect. The colors are wonderful. I can actually see the texture of his beak. Astonishing!! I'm really not sure how to critique this posting. Brilliant and faved.
