I shot these last year. *Supposedly*, this is normal! Though, I've never, ever heard nor seen it before, several articles describe this as part of a normal molt. Go figure! The exposure on these is way off but, during this period these guys were very skittish -- understandably!

Talk about a bad hair day. Whew! While the exposure may have been off on some, as you mentioned, still good images to show the subject.

I cracked up laughing at this poor wee thing. I wonder if they suffer through the moult? I like the first one the best as the feathers are seen sticking straight up!
Good work, but the last one is a bit bright.
What sad looking little guys! :( Hard to imagine how beautiful they'll be when the moult is over.
