I just received a call from a bird watcher in Onamia.  She has several =
blue jays, red-winged blackbirds and common grackles that are showing up =
to her feeders without feathers on the crown of the head and nape, just =
skin.  Does anyone know what the cause could be?  Is it just late =
molting?  =20

Thanks,=20
