aberrant birds

Here are some photos of the female Red-breasted Nuthatch that has the rumpled gray breast feathers.  She has had this same plumage appearance since winter, so it is definitely not a molt thing going on.

 

And here's the Downy Woodpecker with the crossed bill 

 

A Grackle that seems to have an elongated bill tip

 

And a bald House Finch. His mate seems to still think he's handsome, though.
