I was really excited to see this pic my BirdBuddy caught today! So seldom does it capture the wings.

Hello! May I have your opinion regarding this male Cardinal? He is acting fine, and as you can see...eating enthusiastically. No other birds coming to my feeder seem sick, and no other Cardinals are losing feathers. I was told molting doesn't happen till fall. What do you think? And is it typical for one bird to have this problem, while everyone else seems fine? I do keep my feeder clean.. Thank you!
