Thanks all. There are a few others in various stages of this look. Doesn't make for many
prety shots. They all seem to be in good health though, thank goodness. Last year we had
one with no tail feathers, week later tail grew about one inch worth. We called him
"stubby" and he flew like a bullet.

Is it that hot in Bridgeton, MO? Poor guy looks like he's melting. Great shot though!
Might be heat related? We had a stretch of high heat, three days over 100,
and lot in the 90's. Back to normal now. Females are doing ok.
Another not to good.
This one is find.
All taken yesterday.

Hi Allen...... gosh what a face or head I should say, wonder what happened to the little fellow..... once this sort of thing happens to a bird, do the feathers ever grow back?

I have a hot seagull to post.
But that is definitely a member of the "ugly" side of the family.
Though I rather like it myself.
That one male, looks emaciated. Poor guy.
