12:06pm: But Where's The Rest Of It?

This is an actual photo of a living creature, but if you can figure out where the food goes in or how it works you're a better cryptologist than I. (The answer appears at the end of todays post, right-side up.)

(A phalarope, a small shorebird, feeds in the water. This one was photographed from below, so its belly and lobed feet are mirrored on the underside of the surface. That's the official party line, and if you look at it long enough you can figure it out [the top feet are the reflection], but to me it still looks like one of those battlebots from "The Empire Strikes Back.")
