Greetings,

We been getting Blue Jay at our place recently and wondering about this - not sure what's up with his head, can see a bit of his crest in one pic there, perhaps juvenile, molting, lice....?

I just saw your post this morning and I had never seen a blue jay with a featherless head. Then one shows up at my feeder this afternoon. That's weird!
