Beth McMaster owns and operates "Stormy Oaks Wildbird Recovery" a local Re-habber. I took her 3 Nestlings that had deformed legs and could never fledge. She told me she has had quite a few Robins and Grackles that have had other strange deformaties. She is concerned about a bill now in congress and would like everyone to read this link.
