The heron uses this position to dry off wings, thermo regulation and to burn off bugs and bacteria

@miyotehew Ooh, that's fascinating. Probably more comfortable than a lengthy full wing stretch.

@gradientgull right, it probably feels balanced as well..I looked up this posture and most have wings fanned forward. This one is crossed at the legs, first Ive seen it.
