[cobirds] Re: Another bird with a deformed bill (Mead, Weld, CO)

Thanks for posting the article link.  We had a Northern Flicker visit us for 3-4 years around 2012-2015 that had a deformity.  He seemed to manage ok, even it if was a little depressing to hear his unanswered mating calls in the spring.

Hi,

I just had a Red-winged Blackbird at my feeders with an incredibly long upper bill. It was feeding OK, so it must not be impacting it too much. It must be the season for deformed bills what with the Pine Warbler at Chatfield a couple months ago.

Here's a couple pictures...
