strange molting YLG?

Post by hieraaetus » Thu Dec 02, 2010 1:23 pm

Hi All,

i took some pix of an ad YLG actively molting (actually almost full-grown) P5 and S1 and some tertials?
since it's symmetrical i don't think it's caused by damage.

anyone has experience with molt like this?

thanks.

cheers,

Gabor
