The way this little guy was flying around from branch to branch, I had no idea that he had only one leg until I opened the pictures of him in Photoshop! What a "game" little fellow!

Nice picture of a rare individual.
The picture makes you wonder what happened and empathize with the poor thing.

  Thanks, David - I feel so sorry for him. I guess it could have happened while he was still in the nest with his siblings, but I am going to make sure that he and the others get plenty of food.

  Amazing how birds can survive with one leg. I have seen ducks with one leg too, although they are very cumbersome when getting around, but they manage. A great shot of this little battler.

  Thanks, Ann and Kevin. One of the things I love about BetterPhoto.com photographers is that all of you care about the animals that we are fortunate enough to capture on our cameras. And yes, Kevin...nature is incredible in its adaptability.
