This little bird flew over to this twig and hung upside down. After a while it flew away and seemed fine. We were wondering if it maybe had heat stroke with the high temps. here. I've never seen them do this before although they hang upside down on tree trunks.

Sorry. I did it again--posted in the wrong forum. I wish I knew how to move it to birds.

Very unusual indeed. Still, a nice shot you have captured of this behavior. I would reduce the flash a bit and warm up
the image slightly to give a more natural sunlight feel.
