[K Dean EDWARDS <kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I posted a picture taken by someone my father-in-law works with 
(sorry, I don't have the person's name).  The picture is of an 
adult Brown Thrasher with a very long and deformed bill.  It was 
taken in this past winter at this person's home in Oak Ridge, TN 
(yeah, yeah, let the jokes begin).  The bird was present throughout
the winter and seemed to be surviving fine despite the odd bill.

The photo is posted at:
