Where does the hyoid bone apparatus often wrap around the skull?

It often wraps around the back of the skull, sometimes over the top

The hyoid bone apparatus, which supports the woodpecker's specialized tongue, possesses a highly distinctive anatomical configuration compared to most other bird species. Instead of attaching near the jaw only, the muscle structure associated with the tongue extends remarkably backward. The hyoid bone itself wraps around the posterior aspect of the skull, sometimes extending upward over the cranium to attach near structures such as the nostrils or even above the eye socket. This extensive wrapping mechanism is responsible for providing the necessary leverage and length that allows the tongue to extend far beyond the bill tip, enabling the bird to probe deep into excavated channels to retrieve prey.
