I have taken many pictures over the years, but this is a first time capture for me. I wondered about the condition of this blue jay, so sent it to my friend Brenda, who is birder, and she informed me it's molting. Google says that they go through this in late summer, and lasts about a week. I guess I don't normally take bird pics. at this time of year.

I thought this is a bit wacky for Wednesday.

Thank you in advance for your comments.

Think that its 'hair' was done by a cheap hairdresser, Sandi, 😜 !
Poor bird, but I can't help it that this image has created a big smile on my face, so a perfect one for W² indeed!

Great title and shot Tigz.
This Blue Jay will not be courting for a few days.
Perfect for WW.

Looks sad and lonely but nice to hear that this only a short phase. Very good shot Sandi.

He definitely looks different than usual - well timed capture or lucky I guess to catch him in this phase.

I saw a red bird with the same kind of condition once and man did it ever look in sad shape. My first thought was did birds get the mange. It looked awful. I also learned it was a molting condition. Glad to hear that. Good capture Sandi.
