Thank you Ava! That is what my professor said as well. I guess I should add a description for this image...

This is such an enlightening picture; you really get how the bird sees its dinner.

thanks everyone. I was actually very disappointed with the photo because of the dust on my sensor that is highly visible with the blue sky background but the angle IS unique so that's why I posted it

yeah, no one really realizes that the bird probably looks straight down without seeing it's own beak.
