Very nice

Is that a "proper" cross-bill, or just a bird with a beak defect?

 

[Jeff1583 83]

It seemed to be feeding OK so no worries, I hope......

Nice shot. Lucky too.

Suspect it happens more often than we really know. With so many people taking photos, more of these shots will likely show up. How many birds fly around you in any given day? Lots. Who looks at the beaks? People with high powered binoculars or camera lenses.

I recently posted photos of a grey catbird. Know there was another, and can't find it. In the wild they either adapt and survive........or don't. If we got photos of them, they're in the survivor category.

I am wondering if it is a bluejay (I assume that is what you meant by "jay") . Don't know what it would be, but, don't jays have crested heads? You really have me curious now.

Deja vu! I knew I had just seen another similarly afflicted bird recently. Maybe @HavToNo ? Nice clarity on this one.
