Weekly Photo Challenge: Twisted stuff

Sometimes you need to twist your head if you want to give yourself a good scratch.  Here is an egret at Black Hill Park in Montgomery County in Maryland.This great blue heron is standing on ice while giving itself a scratch.  It must feel good!The twist in this egret’s neck seems a little unusual to me from this angle.  It may have to do with the position of the wings.
Here is a bird among the twisted branches of one or more trees in winter.The twisted branches of the trees can sure look like a mess from a distance in the woods in the early morning light.  The sun has not quite hit the level of the trail in the following picture.The turn in the trail appears at a distance in the following picture.
