Hi, is this typical behavior? The leg up and foot curled. This was early am in NY USA? The bird was in this position the entire duration of my visit.

Hi Dan,

Perhaps the (time) duration of your visit might contribute towards an answer…..ie 20 secs or 2.5 hours?
If the former no big deal, however the latter might suggest rigormortis is on it’s way…..😀

It does look odd!

Cheers
