Great shot, Socrate! At first glance it does seem amazing how the bird can contort, but in thinking about it more what's really amazing is that it can actually fly in that position! ~Greg
My thought too! It shows how great flight control these big birds have. Thank you for the comments, Greg

Nice shot Socrate. Is this because of gators ? I've seen snowies do this in Mexico when there were crocs in the water.
Thank you, Herb. Yes, there were gators in the water, but they don't bother the birds and the water was shallow. Other birds were just standing close to gators.
I believe it was just having fun

Wow! seems to be a good word for this magnificently-timed shot (your timing seems a whole lot better than the snowy's ).
Regardless- this might be a once-in-a-lifetime image- and it's a wiener .
