Here's a young Northern Cardinal, in our backyard, that appears to be a few feathers shy of a full load, especially in its tail and head crest.   It is being well fed by its parents and has started to feed itself at the feeders so it appears to be well on the road to overall maturity, if not entirely appearance-wise.

Please comment if you wish.
