Molting is the natural process where birds shed old feathers and grow new ones, keeping their plumage strong for flight, insulation, and survival. Raptors in North America usually molt mid-summer through early fall (July–October), and they follow a predictable pattern so they never lose the ability to fly or hunt. In the tail, molting begins with the center deck feathers, then works its way outward, replacing each pair symmetrically so balance and maneuverability are never compromised. in this v

Warning… difficult but important post. This bald eagle, approximately 5 years old based on molting patterns, was admitted last week. He is seen here struggling to breathe, shortly before he sadly passed away. He was found on the ground, unable to stand and too weak to fly. Our clinic suspected lead poisoning and quickly got to work stabilizing and then confirming high levels of lead due to ingesting lead shot. Though our team moved quickly and performed gastric lavage after hours of being admitt

Molting season means one thing, time to peek back to some of our favorite molting clips from over the years. Aurora never disappoints! Feathers flying, molting is messy business! But it’s how she stays healthy and replaces old feathers each year. We save her molted tail, primary and secondary wing feathers and send them to the National Eagle Repository, where they’re distributed to Native American and Alaska Native tribes for ceremonial use. We love to imagine that some of Aurora’s beautiful fea

Did you know that during the first four years of a Bald Eagle’s life, its feathers undergo a series of color changes? Each year, they gradually molt and replace all their feathers. For the first three years, their feathers are primarily brown. As they approach maturity at five years of age, the brown head and tail feathers are slowly replaced by white feathers. #FunFactFriday #AgingGracefully #AnimalFacts | Alaska Raptor Center

On our Blackwater NWR Eagle Cam, we recently spotted an adult eagle on the nest (maybe a female). The eagle pulled out one of its feathers and left it in the nest - maybe a feather that was about to fall out due to molting. Molting is when worn feathers are replaced with new feathers. Most breeding birds of prey molt in the summer, after they have finished raising young, and in winter or early spring, as the breeding season begins. The National Eagle Center reports that the Bald Eagle molting pr

It is molting season. Feathers are EVERYWHERE in all the aviaries! In these clips of Aurora last year, you can see some of the process in action. The downy feathers can be quite pesky as they stick to EVERYTHING including her nares! For primary and tail feathers, she can help the process along with preening and bathing. We gather all the molted eagle wing and tail feathers and send them to the Eagle Repository at the end of the molt for distribution to Native Americans for ceremonial use ❤️ #eag
