Disabled mom?


I could hear the offspring of this female red-winged blackbird this morning, but I couldn't get close enough to get a glimpse of them without getting my feet wet.  She and her mate were trying to dissuade me from getting any closer anyhow.  I noticed that she had something in her beak when I snapped the picture, but I wasn't aware until I cropped the shot that she appears to have only one leg.
