The Molting has Begun

The pretty indigo bunting is starting to look a little frazzled - spotted two this morning, both starting the molting process.

I love his blue color, even if he is a little scruffy.

Seems a shame to lose that pretty blue colour. Nicely captured.

That shows you how dumb I am. I didn't realize birds molted. Great shot, by the way.

Poor little guy - but what a beautiful blue!

Even looking a bit scruffy, this is a beautiful bird. And I continue to be awed by your ability to photograph them with such clarity and nice backgrounds.

Great capture! Such a pretty bird even when a little scruffy.

Great catch. Love the colour of this bird, must be amazing to see them fly about. Do they change colour when they molt?
