This funny cartoon design does not have a typo. An illustrated Bald Eagle bows down and appears to be moving its face. The image has the caption: EAGLE FEAK.
Feaking refers to the act of a bird cleaning its beak by rubbing it against a hard surface, such as on a branch or other perch. Birds typically do this after eating and sometimes after or during preening. The term is often used in falconry to describe the action taken by a bird of prey, but songbirds feak, too.

Can you believe it's been over 15 years since the Ivory-billed Woodpecker went from being "probably extinct" to "rediscovered"? The species made headlines back in April 2005 when experts from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology reported the discovery of at least one male Ivory-billed Woodpecker in the Big Woods of Arkansas. In the following years, expeditions were mounted and volunteers sought definitive proof... which was never produced. In late 2021 and early 2022, the bird was in the headlines again... for the same reason. Still, difinitive proof is elusive, but there are still some that hold out hope that the Ivory-billed Woodpecker still lives in the wild. This continuing saga makes this species a Bird I'd Like to Find.
