strange and rare animals cavorting on the beach. Two specimens of
homo sapiens, subspecies: female nutticus, in scanty summer plumage
(two piece bathing attire) were spotted frolicking in the cold
northern Pacific surf. Imagine our shock and consternation?
Even in mid-summer months those humans venturing into the ocean are
wise to wear wet suits to conserve body heat. March is not summer. It
is barely spring! I was braving the Cape Blanco weather in jeans,
thermal shirt topped with sweatshirt topped with windbreaker - and
was none too warm. I cannot imagine how these folks survived without
severe hypothermia!

I'm not sure I want to brave anything when the weather is so ugly. Where or where is Spring?
"female nutticus"
Were the specimens with sparse plumage young birds? Maybe they just haven't had time to grow their adult feathers. A similar species here is nuttipeniloclitorialensis, and I suspect that they are a bit thinner than your birds.
Hey M, I have an award for you on my Sunday's post.
