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.

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.
