Photo Submission

Description

These photos were taken at the Audubon Society’s Felt’s Preserve on October 16, 2016, by my son. I am submitting these because there is a female Northern Cardinal that visits the feeder at my home who’s beak is deformed. To date, I have been unable to get a good photograph of her. I thought it odd that there would be one here, too.

I have a male and female cardinal at my feeder with the same beak. I came here to find more information.

We have a cardinal born this year with what looks damage to the top of his beak. It wasn’t like this 2 months ago. He looks healthy and is scooping seed with the bottom and chewing. Mostly safflower.
Will he survive with out seed available and finding his own food?
