This evening, I observed foraging under my feeder a White-throated
Sparrow with what appeared to be an abnormally enlarged crop -- it
looked rather like it had a goiter. It didn't appear to be having
difficulty feeding, even though it looked like it had tried to swallow
half a golf ball.
Any theories on what might be going on with this bird?
