Molting

And now the crows are molting - such a pinhead!

The Steller's Jays have mostly recovered from their molt.

They look reasonable handsome once again.

Head feathers are still a bit sparce.

A special visitor!

A don't often get White-breast Nuthatches at the feeders.

I was fortunate that it stayed put and allowed me to take a series of photos.
