Observation details
One pair nesting in cholla by the parking lot for at least the second consecutive year. Another pair was by the river, and one of these birds had a remarkably long, deformed bill. This species is prone to bill deformities but I've never seen one quite as extreme as this. The bird seemed to be doing fine and had even attracted a mate, so was obviously coping with its disability.
