Grey Butcherbird

Bird
Grey Butcherbird (Cracticus torquatus)
- photo by me.

The book (Jim Flegg & N. Longmore, Reader's Digest Photographic Field Guide: Birds of Australia, 1994) says there should be a "conspicuous white crescentic patch behind ear", but I can't see one. And I've never thought about a bird's ear before. I knew they could hear, but never wondered how.
