It could be a stress pose from having just escaped a predator or bumped into a window. If it is perching well, which it appears to be and if safe from predators, the best thing is probably just leave it to recover properly. trying to catch it would likely stress it more. Hard to imagine it would be heat or water stressed today.

This GW has come in under the pergola and settled in the camilia tree. Beak is open and is very quiet. Does this mean it is not well? There is plenty of water around. We can get quite close to it without it even flinching. I just wish I could do something for it.
