Linda,
Going back and looking at some of the other photos of Zoom it appears that when he is relaxed his neck feathers form the rounded scallop you noticed. They are not individual round feathers, but a series of feathers that created the rounded off effect.
Now my head hurts. Just joking, and I understood what you meant, no apology necessary. They don't have individual neck feathers that big. Their wing and maybe their tail feathers might be that big, but not their necks. They'd be shaped differently any how. Anyway, it's a pretty effect. If you see if on your Hummer friend it means he is calm and happy.
It was pretty overcast today, and I didn't take as many photos. I got a couple of good ones, several mediocre ones, and some down right worthless blurs.
Here's one now!
