This Western Meadowlark, which I assumed to be molting, was out in the open foraging last summer. Hunting for insects on open grasslands looking almost like a small new species of vulture with their feathers missing from their neck.

Looks very odd!
It was indeed an odd bird so to speak.
Whoa!
That’s for sure.
Molting is so awkward! 😉
Like being a teenager once or twice each year. Poor birds.
