Media notes
Note discoloration of bill (normal?) or just covered in mud due to foraging on the ground?
Observation details
Photos. Oddly away from any wooded vegetation. Foraging at base of cattails at the south end of Pool 14. Note apparent bill deformities- upper mandible does not line up with lower mandible, there is a noticeable gap between the two, and bill is discolored. This may be a bird that is in initial stages of avian keratin disorder?
