Mono Piper


The other day I went to a wildlife preserve to photograph birds.  While I was shooting sandpipers I noticed that one was hopping rather than walking.  I quickly realized that it only had one leg.  It appears that this bird was born this way and to it one leg is normal.  We rarely see wild animals with disabilities thrive but this one seems to have done it.
