Recognizing moult patterns can be feather in birder's cap

https://lfpress.com/travel/the-world-outdoors-recognizing-moult-patterns-can-be-feather-in-birders-cap


Adult birds replace their feathers at least once each year. In the winter, the male indigo bunting sports a splotchy "basic" plumage. It will soon go through a transformative moult during which this patchwork look turns into striking blue plumage for the spring breeding season. (Mich MacDougall/Special to Postmedia News)

If you look closely at the center of the photo, you'll see the white head of an eagle in a nest near the top of a ravaged but still standing tree in a sea of broken trunks.
