Looks like that molt is going around from bird to bird. :)

That is one raggedy titmouse. But looks like his appetite is still good! Nice shots

HA, no, it doesn't seem to affect their appetite. :)

Bless his heart. That is one pitiful looking bird.

This one bird should look beautiful after molting. Look at those fine feathers. Great series of well captured images Mitch.

Thanks Mike and Reyno. I'm kind of surprised how fast this happens. The group this guy was running with were all molting today, but just 4 days ago, they all looked fine. But they will come out of it looking sleek and fine again. It didn't dampen their spirits though, they were still flitting around and chattering back and forth. :)
