There’s not even a re-molt chance that you or I will ever look as good as some birds do now in their fresh feathers of spring.  Orange-crown, male Ruddy, White-crown…and these are pictures taken in gray light, or through a window.  By mid-summer this Orange-crowned Warbler will begin to look dingy, then drab.After the breeding season this male Ruddy loses the ruddy and become a black, gray and white little duck with a tail erection…sometimes.This White-crowned Sparrow will get less crisp-looking, more like a rumpled old tuxedo than one just off the rack.
