This little guy was in my backyard yesterday and he seemed to be very troubled. His beak seems to have some kind of growth on it and he was really listless and out of sorts. The many hummingbirds that come to my feeders all seem to be OK except for this guy. They are constantly fighting and chasing each other and I was wondering if he was injured. He hasn't come back since I saw him. If any one has an idea as to what the problem is I would really like to know.

That growth on his bill does look unusual.
