Bald Cardinal

We've been catching sight of sad-looking cardinal around our feeders the last few days. I finally was able to get a better look at him ~ he seems to be missing nearly all the feathers from his head!



This isn't our cardinal, but an image I found on the internet. Ours actually has a truly tiny tuft of red on the top of his head. Cornell University is big on birds - here is a site about bald-headed songbirds.

That is the ugliest creature I have ever seen. My little cat could put that thing out of its misery.

There is nothing more pitiful looking than a bird without feathers. Thanks for the interesting link.
