Had a handicapped hummer at my feeders today. It had a growth or something
around it bill about halfway up and couldn't get its bill in far enough to
eat.
It looked a little bedraggled which might have been caused by its perdicament.
It was sad to see but it is survival of the fittest. Hopefully it will manage.
