The first time I noticed a bird standing on one leg, I thought it was handicapped, but soon realized that this is an inherrent behavior. What a neat and perfect balancing act!

What a great capture. Birds lift their one leg up when they sleep or roost. I have a bird and she does this and turns her head to tuck partly under one wing when she sleeps. Great timing. Congratulations on your sale.

Thank you, Kathy! I captured it with a telephoto lens on my digital camera. It posed very nicely for me, an unusual happening!! Usually, you are still composing the scene and the bird flies away quickly! Blessings, Suzanne
