I shot the attached photos yesterday morning.  This is the first adult male
I have seen in a while so I was glad to see him.

I thought his bill looked a bit odd and when I looked at the pictures
enlarged on my computer I could see he has a very deformed bill that must be
genetic as it does not look like an injury.  I am amazed he has survived to
adulthood with this!
