5-12-26 Good morning everyone 🙂. Here are a few scaps from yesterday's video ( https://youtu.be/8s6Zd2zAtkU?si=A-3C7... ) of M15's tail feathers. We can now see the outermost tail feathers that are growing in symmetrically.
5-4-26 Good evening everyone 🦅 In today's video of M15's visit ( https://youtu.be/HUpKNVp8rfU?si=l8h6V... ), we can clearly see six tail feathers (rectrices). M15 is molting, as they do at the end of breeding season. His tail feathers will molt out (fall out) symmetrically on each side (he normally has twelve). This will allow him to keep strong flight during molt. The new feathers come in behind the older feathers that molt, and he will have bright new white tail feathers by the start of Season 15.
