The fact is: If A Blue Jay Is Bald It Must Be August.
Blue Jays go through one complete molt a year in late summer. But Blue Jays (as well as Northern Cardinals) often experience a complete molt of their head and maybe even their neck feathers. The feathers grown back in around a couple of weeks.
Captured this image this morning while having our morning coffee outside. If you view in full you can see that some of his/her feathers are coming back in.
Thank you for your time and comments most welcomed.
Have a great day, ♥ Skates ♥
Will try on commenting today, please be patient.

So even birds have bad hair days. I didn't know.

I like Jeff's comment above - I did not know about the blue jay and it's hair loss albeit temporary.

Nothing like changing your "coat" once in a while :) Beautiful shot of the blue jay with excellent details.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
Thought that it had visited a 'snip & clip', Pat, ☺ !
But your narrative made me clear that the 'credits' for this bad done haircut goes to Mother nature itself.
Would have been a perfect entry for both Manic Monday or Wacky Wednesday.
Anyhow, seen and captured perfectly by you, my friend!

Never knew that about the feathers - thanks for an enlightening narrative to go along with a great picture.

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
Great shot Pat and interesting to know about the molt regarding both bluejays and cardinals - we have them in our area and will have to look more closely at their plumage - Great Capture!!!!!!!!!!

I have seen a cardinal like this once. Made me feel sorry for the guy. Glad to hear that is temporary.
