Sick or Injured Young Tricolor (graphic)Needs Help

When we first arrived at Wakdohatchee Wetlands last week, we saw this poor fellow. Can't tell if his beak is broken or just deformed. In any case, he looked to be in serious trouble as he sat in the water and never moved much. At first I thought he just had mud on his face, but closer up, it looked like a deformity or injury. Hate to see something like this.

Wow that is horrible and it looks like a bad injury to me. Maybe some wildlife rescue group can help this poor bird.

That's my hope as well.
