More about Grus speculum introspectus ( Mirror Crane )

Scientific Note
A zoological challenge: The mirror crane is difficult to observe because it constantly stares at itself. Biologists report cases of acute self-awareness when looking at its plumage. The feathers of the juvenile merely reflect weather reports, but in adulthood, they reveal the observer's memories—preferably embarrassing ones.

He walks backward through the fog, this bird with mirrored plumage. In each feather a different face, a different gaze, and whoever sees him recognizes himself—perhaps too clearly.
