A lesson to be learned here......This little fellow has a growth on his right foot and he would not use it at all. He appears to be juvenile white crowned sparrow. This species is only here in Louisiana during the winter, so that means this little fellow probably migrated down from the far north with the use of one foot only. I witnessed him feeding for a while and he got around quite nicely landing on the ground to feed and even perching on limbs with only the one useful foot. It just gos to show its not always "only the strongest survive" sometimes its the most determined that survive also. He found a way to make do with one good foot. Good luck to my little friend. ( explore # 34 my thanks to everyone )
