I have been working at KY Dam since 2008 and this little guy has been sighted every year. I'm not real sure what happened to his foot, (fishing line, maybe turtle bite) but he acts like it doesn't effect him one bit. He balances quite well on one foot. *sorry bout the poop on the rail, I was afraid if I kept cropping it would distort the clairity)

I bet you nicknamed him 'Gimpy' eh!

He still seems well fed so his injury doesn't hamper him!..

Poor little fella. Maybe a birth defect...Is this picture for the Balance contest? It would work well, I think.

You should whittle him a little peg leg and get him an eye patch Nessa. Maybe he could be a spokesman for Long John Silvers. I see a great advertising campaign afoot in this post.

Cameras are like people--sometimes they lose focus.

Birds are very adaptive when it comes to coping with missing toes etc, Poopy looks really grand. (o:

An interesting and unusual looking gull. A good clear capture with good colours and lighting.

You did a good job of capturing with the lens, and who cares about the poop. Tigs♥ =^..^
