Taken today in KY.
I'm assuming this is a mourning dove, but what's up with his face? Disease? Just a deformity? or just young?

I go birdwatching because somebody has to keep an eye on those evil, little pricks.

Awh, it's a young one! 
Cute, I've never seen a photo of a baby Mourning Dove before. I think the puffy face is normal for fledglings.

In Ohio, we found a baby like this one. He had a little puffy face, too.
