Here, Mikey has an eagle on his head. Likely, you did not need a caption to explain that, but nonetheless, that is Mikey, and that is an eagle on his head.

Once in Peru, Mikey was not to be stopped until he had an eagle on his head. He said, “I like what we have planned, but, darn it, this trip will be a bust if I don’t get to put an eagle on my head.” (OK, that might not be 100-percent true, but still). Lo and behold, a couple of days after arriving, Mikey accomplished his week(life?)long goal of having an eagle on his head. This picture was taken in a small village in Colca Canyon between Chivay — where we stayed the night — and Cruz del Condor (Condor Crossing) where we were treated to a stunning visual display from about a dozen condors … though none of them landed on Mikey’s head.
