This is the high time of #molting, and the Blue Jays are are looking a bit rough. But new feathers are emerging, and I always love to see the different individual ways in which they do. Plus, the ragged look makes for some interesting photos. #birds #birdsofMastodon #corvids #Ostdrossel #nature

End of August also is the main time for #molting, be it young birds changing to adult feathers or adult birds getting rid of the old and growing new. Everybody looks disheveled, and I kind of love it. (More photos on my website.) #birds #birdsofMastodon #nature #Ostdrossel

I always like it when birds look distinguishable, have odd markings or behavior that I recognize. This Red-winged Blackbird seems to be growing new wings on his shoulders, and I think it looks really cool and dramatic how the sheaths are slowly turning into real feathers. He did like to present himself properly, too.
