Saw this little guy at the feeder and noticed the odd looking beak/tongue. Any of you experts know what type hummingbird this is and is this normal?
ETA: Mrs BG says it's a female broadtail. There was just another, much smaller one, on the feeder with the same issue on the beek.
Poor thing, gotta be rough trying to survive with a broken beak. I've gotten to be a real softie for little birds. Lord knows I was a terror on them with a BB gun when I was a kid, now I'm their friend. I'd LOVE to have hummers hanging around.
There's a lot more of us ugly mf'ers out here than there are of you pretty people!
