For the past week I have noticed some really ratty looking crows in Edmonds.? One bird, which hangs out in my neighborhood,? looks especially bad as it has lost a lot of feathers on its head.? For a photo of it after last week's downpour, see post #336 here:? http://www.pnwphotos.com/forum/showthread.php?7934-Wildlife-of-Edmonds-WA/page34

Is it a time of year when crows routinely molt or is something else happening???
