The Eurasian Wryneck is the woodpecker that doesn’t look like a woodpecker, the bird with the portmanteau name that is also a medical condition (and which may remind some people of a Nora Ephron essay). They mimic snakes, a claim to fame that goes all the way back to Aristotle’s History of Animals.
