As we move later into summer, many birds start molting their feathers and replacing them with new ones. You might even see some birds that have lost nearly all of the feathers on their heads—like this female cardinal on the Cornell Lab FeederWatch cam! It's considered normal to see bald individuals of some species, like Blue Jays and Northern Cardinals, which are known to simultaneously drop their head feathers during molting. While there's still much research needed to determine why this happens, fortunately the feathers will regrow in a matter of weeks!

Watch LIVE at http://AllAboutBirds.org/CornellFeeders for news, updates, and more information about the pond and its surroundings.

This FeederWatch cam is located in the Treman Bird Feeding Garden at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Perched on the edge of both Sapsucker Woods and its 10-acre pond, these feeders attract both forest species like chickadees and woodpeckers as well as some species that prefer open environments near water like Red-winged Blackbirds.

The Wild Birds Unlimited store at Sapsucker Woods has been a part of the visitor experience in the Cornell Lab’s Visitor Center ever since the new building opened in 2003. They are the preferred vendor of official Cornell Lab merchandise and offer a dizzying number of feeders, binoculars, and birdwatching-related gear and gifts to make any bird enthusiast happy. WBU has also pledged support for many of the Cornell Lab’s local efforts, including providing the bird feeders and food for this FeederWatch Cam.
