Upside Down Vireo

Birding can often have its ups and downs but for the most part birds tend to prefer an upright position.

Some notable exceptions are nuthatches and the Black-and-White Warbler.

On the Spring Bird Count I spotted this acrobatic Yellow-throated Vireo who was eagerly hunting insects. He ended up posing upside down for several seconds, which is something I've never witnessed before.
