Observation details
Right crippled leg (see latest three photos), this bird reminds me of an observation from last November, when I saw a solitary bird at Bridget Cove with a left crippled leg, these are late observations for Lapland Longspur. Would assume these injured birds will not migrate and survive the winter. Nevertheless, this bird was actively feeding on seeds, grooming itself by taking a bath and attempted to scratch the side of its head with the injured leg, which did not reach that high up. Two of the photos show the attempt.
