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

I had a Pygmy Nuthatch with a similar bill deformity late last year.  In doing a little research, I came across an article in All About Birds discussing bill deformities.  

https://www.allaboutbirds.org/news/ive-seen-a-bird-with-an-overgrown-or-otherwise-deformed-bill-what-is-wrong-with-it/

At the bottom of the article, there is a site to report birds with these deformities.   It takes a few minutes and there its a method to provide photos of your bird.

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...
