Aren't they amazing close up?
The feathers on the birds in the wild wild woods are showing some wear since last summer. Flying, preening, and roosting crowded into a hole or huddled together in a box causes feathers to wear out.
These three examples -- Dark-eyed Junco (right), Northern Flicker (below right), and Redbellied Woodpecker (below left) -- all have beautiful feathers!
