Media notes
These two nestlings were from a nest that was visited 13 days after hatching. One of six nestlings in the nest had the unknown disease that, among other things, caused the bill to be deformed and the rictis to be black and crusty (see also photos ML108616791, ML108617181 and ML108617221). This nestling is pictured alongside an unafflicted nest mate. The afflicted nestling was considerably underdeveloped and never fledged.
