I haven't ever seen it quite so thorough a job. Poor bird is totally naked from the shoulders up to the tip of the beak. Other Blue Jays are molting "normally". Lots of scratching and mites on most birds this year. They are all scratching and fluffing and even rubbing against the frame of the grapevine. I put fine sand in the bird bath and am about to go outside to wash it out and scrub it then refill with sand and water. It sure is getting used a lot. The pan of sand I set on the grass seems to have become a food additive?
