found this article on deformities - poor birds! At first I though the bird was holding a worm.

Hello....
I've been away from the blog for a couple of weeks. Busy making dolls and Christmas decorations :) Just finished reading about that supposed missile launch off Calif. Was it a missile or is it just a contrail? hmm....

We our out and about in the forest and at the Glacier and we've never seen a bird with this deformity. I love watching the Ravens! They are very smart and quite comical. We didn't see any bears this weekend but the Eagles were out full force at the creek, watching for fish. We saw the cutest baby porcupine along the road (seems to be their favorite place to graze) See our pics below!

Interesting article about the beak deformities in AK. Thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeletePorcupine babies are so cute. I used to see them frequently when we lived in Colorado.
Have a great week! :0)
