Now you guys are scaring me! Tessa didn’t molt this year (too young), but I love her mahogany and iridescent black feathers! I hope she doesn’t go too white too soon.

It is hard to capture the glory of his tail and hackles. They shimmer and shine in green and blue and purple and he is beginning to grow some white spots on his fluffy butt.
