Dove with deformity

Posted By Cal Sandfort
It looks like the cutaneous form of "pox." Pox is caused by a virus and usually occurs in southern latitudes but I have seen it in my homing pigeons at 43 degrees north. This early in the year you must be south of that? The pox virus is similar to the virus of human smallpox but don't worry, it can not be transmitted to humans. If it can eat and drink the lesions should dry up and fall off in about ten days. Otherwise it's cat chow :-(

Another Black-necked Stilt

These are all great shots! I think your Dowitcher shot is a Long-billed Dowitcher.
