Balding Cardinal
May 20th, 2008 by Sallad
This little guy keeps coming back to one of our front feeders. I don’t know if he’s sick and that’s why he’s losing his head feathers, or if he’s just molting. He’s the only cardinal I’ve ever seen do this.

His head looks so tiny without his full crown of glory.
Poor little guy, he looks rather sad. :(

I like seeing all the photos off birds you just don’t get in the UK.
I wonder if he’s changing from his juvenile (brown) to his adult (red) feathers. Doesn’t it kind of look like the colors are mixed in there?
