Hi David 
My guess is in two parts :
a) movement blur - the body is sharp particularly the back, but probably 
motionless compared to the head rotation (omega)
b) plus foreground limit of the DoF - the beak protudes much more than we wish 
it to sometimes (wink).

Nice shot all the same.
Bien amicalement
