Hummer with Deformed Feet in the Lucifer

I went out to shoot the hummers in the Lucifer again and when I looked at this shot on my computer, it looks to me as if this rufous hummingbird had deformed feet. What do you think?
Thanks for the visits, comments, suggestions, favs
So interesting -- have you seen it clamp onto a branch at all? I don't know how you get such clarity -- and this one looks great among the flowers.

I went and looked at some of my hummer photos and some were curled up, some were tucked in and you couldn’t see them and some were not curled up. I think it may depend on what they’re doing. Nice photo.

I wouldn't know deformed feet! But the shot is stunning in its clarity.

They do look funny but would he still be able to survive if they were deformed - do they often have to rest on branches? (they must use so much energy when active.) It's another fabulous image! :)

@robz yes, they do rest on branches and actually go into a deep sleep almost trance state

@moonmtn @gilbertwood to me it looks as if he has an additional small foot on each side

Wow wonderful clarity and timing Jane!

Another awesome shot. Think it may be that the feet are just relaxed. :-)

Stunning capture!

The feet do look odd but really don't have a clue whether they're deformed or relaxed. Great shot whatever.

another magnificent capture with wonderful detail and clarity. I sincerely hope the feet are not deformed as that little cutie could have a problem sleeping. Fav

I have no clue how the feet should look but I like it anyhow.
