Well done! As to his age, you'd have to check his driver's license or ask him for a copy of his birth certificate.

This is only the second time I have ever seen one minus any red. We have one coming to our suet feeder outside the kitchen window that has no red.
I thought maybe he/she was molting and lost the red feathers. Maybe ours is just a young one, but I thought they had the red head after hatching.
Will have to research that.
Btw, very nice, sharp photos.

Beautiful captures Bill. I love the look on the little guy in the second shot. Is he looking back at Mama?

Thanks everyone for the encouragement.
There is a small red spot at the top of the head, not shown in either of these pictures. I'll try to remedy that.
This little one did seem to be keeping an eye on Mom.

Thanks very much Rich, I appreciate your visit.
The attached picture are for those wondering about the lack of red. It will be interesting to see what happens as it matures.
