The juvenile starling pictured above does not appear unusual at first glance. It does not, however, have a right leg. It's been around at the feeders in the backyard, for most of the summer. Apart from missing the entire right leg, it seems healthy and well fed; plus it is an excellent flyer. It eats with a number of other juvenile starlings but defers to them if a squabble over food breaks out. It's definitely a triumph over adversity.
Please comment if you wish.
