A fun picture, look at it one way and see the right side of the head, look again are you seeing the left side of the head.

The boring details.... The bird is a female Bullock's Oriole, the photo was taken with a 5Dsr, 100-400 MkII & 1.4 Tc , f/8 @ 560 mm and SS of 1000. ISO of 500. Taken through a dirty window.....my "dirty bird"

Yes, except for his beak turning up for the "right" side.

I only saw the left side. Maybe you have an Optic Nerve condition.

Not sure what your seeing unlucky. From the bird's point of view, this is her left side. Were you smoking something "interesting" while taking the shot?

Interesting TheShoe, not all can see. left and right are the viewers perspective, not the birds.

Ok PhotoHobbyist, as Longshadow stated the curve of the beak is the giveaway.

Look again RichinSeattle, from the birds perspective it is both the left and the right. Do you not see the beak appear to curve up.

Okay I can see it if I look only at the beak, but when I allow the eye to get included it looks like his head is turned 180 degrees like an owl's. And that just doesn't look right so my mind goes back to seeint only the left side.

Yes, you got it PhotogHobbisty. It just doesn't look right, probably why my mind just jumped on it.
