I remember a song Rockin Robin, Count B. I suspect this fellow rocks back and forth on flat land. I imagine those spurs evolved over time to allow it to be a lineman.

Another great shot, Richie! He does look out of his natural element. You're building quite a portfolio of excellent bird photos. Well done, once again!
