Northern Mockingbird

Mimus polyglottos

Description:

A Northern Mockingbird spotted at Dogue Creek Stream Park, Fairfax County, Virginia USA. Notice two "lumps" on the bird's legs: one is located on the joint of its left leg; the other is on one of the toes on its right foot. Can anyone identify the cause of the lumps?

Habitat:

Spotted along the margin of a deciduous forest, near a small stream.
