This disheveled hummer showed up recently. Not sure why they look so rough. anybody know?
I'm guessing it is a juvenile.
Beautiful shot! Migration wear and tear?
It's a rough world out there for tiny birds!!
Maybe fighting!?
Great shot!!
Lovely shot Joe...you are king of the Hummers.

Beautiful shot! Probably a juvenile.
Lovely shot! I'm guessing you are right about it being a juvenile. Feathers just not fully grown in and settled yet. I raised white, Chestnut flanked Zebra Finches and Cordon Bleu Finches for several years and I found that happens with them.
The chief is right, it is a hard world out there for these little guys. Good capture.
