Dove with an Odd bill...?

[curious kat]

Saw this Dove a couple of times and was wondering why his bill looks so different, any ideas?

This was the first time I noticed the bill...it's the one on the right...

Second time (might be a different dove ?).....looks kind of like a duck here......odd?

Will end with a favorite wild sunflower... & sunset..

Sure is different. Maybe it's mother was a duck

It looks to me like feather loss. We had a cardinal here that was bald on top of it's head. It was something to see with bright red plumage and a white skull cap!

Sure! that's it. I can see that. Well he still found a girl with his goofy lookin beak.

Yeah...think you guys are right about the "feather loss"...would have like to see a picture of that cardinal fyrffytr1, must have been a sight!

tamrock...yes, at least he/she found a mate looking like that...guess it's beautiful on the inside.

Nice pic. We have millions of doves here, all species and I have never seen that. Good eye...

It could be the once thought extinct DD or now rare Duck Dove. But feather lost does make more sense.... (I need to go fix breakfast... now)
