Prev | Birds | Next Brown-headed Cowbird Molothrus ater    Copyright David Seibel, 2013 (#7141) | Send Comment Camera: Canon EOS-1D Mark IV Exposure: 1/250 sec, f/8.0, ISO 2000 Lens: Canon 500mm f/4L IS Date: June 26, 2013 Location: Lenexa, Kansas, USA Description: This bird frequented my feeders for several weeks. When it first appeared its left foot was dangling by threads of connective tissue. The foot eventually fell off, leaving the sharp broken end of the tarsometatarsus exposed, but the bird adapted to balancing on one foot or, as here, leaning lightly on the stub.
