Chris Gullikson captured this photo (as well as some
video)
showing #827 tucking his long legs up to his belly to try to keep
them warm during the cold flight. |

Here you can see that only the antenna attached to his radio
transmitter, and one foot is left exposed. He's managed to get
everything else tucked under the feathers on his chest and belly. |
