That last picture of Studley is the best I could do for now but it's fuzzy. If you're talking about his left foot, that's the bad one. I almost thought I saw a remnant of a bird band.

I am thrilled you can tell Marge and Studley apart, but less than thrilled at the reason. I also notice that Studley's good foot has an issue as well. It's swollen; the near toe and especially the middle joint of the middle toe.
