It's all in the wrist!


So my puzzlement is how they are able to do this scratching behavior without 
alling on their face?

Like some others who have posted recently, i've just this past week noticed Fox 
p at the feeder as ground feeders.  First sighting was of a single.  Friday, i 
hought i glimpsed 2 and confirmed that both yesterday and today.

o my puzzlement is how they are able to do this scratching behavior without 
alling on their face?  White Throats & Song sp and even Towhees also can 
ccomplish this - nothing in Sibley or Robbins (Golden Guide...) about the 
echanics/physics of this behavior.
