Hey Jo (and the rest of you Pacific Northwest girls) -

Have you heard anything about deformed bird beaks in your neck of the woods? Apparently, it's happening to resident birds - particularly black-capped chickadees - so scientists think the problem is regional.

Here's a link to a bunch of photos & back ground info:

If you see one of these birds, report it here:
