It's actually a raven giving a camera lens an extreme close up in an effort to figure out what the mysterious and (more importantly) shiny object is. The expression in its eyes is comically "Oh? What be this? It nifty?" But the extreme close-up of that honkin' huge beak and those beedy eyes would provoke a "GYYAAAAH!" reaction if you ever saw it over your shoulder.
This choice was prompted because A) I happen to like ravens for being absurdly clever bastards (more so than most other birds out there - they actually make tools!), and B) I have gotten that reaction from people due to my naturally quiet nature - I've had to start wearing jangly things so I don't accidentally scare someone.
The maraschino cherry on top is the custom title: "Scaring people witless since 1980."
