A female Cardinal with an elongated mandible came to our feeders this morning. The upper part of her beak crossed over the lower which was 3 to 4 times the usual length. She was in every other way a beautiful female Cardinal. She was eating without problem from a birdseed ball and appeared healthy! It was a first for me.
