Western Bluebird, juvenile molting

Stanford campus

This ugly duckling is molting from juvenal to first basic plumage. From the extent and brightness of the rufous and blue feathering it would appear to be a male, but the pattern leaves the possibility that it is a bright female.


other sizes: small medium large original auto
