Day by day, the juvenile birds that hatched in and around the wild woods this summer are getting their adult feathers. The young White Breasted Nuthatch will develop a more defined black cap and frosty white around his eyes. The juvenile Gray Catbird will get more dark feathers on his head. The Downy Woodpecker (licking suet in the photo) will grow more black and white feathers to replace some of his brownish ones.
