There has been a female downy here with all body feathers puffed up after looking normal all winter up until about four days ago. It’s not cold and feathers are very bedraggled. Looks swollen all around body but seems bright eyed and can fly. There are postings of this on Cornell Feeder Watch but no answers so far. Has any one else seen this?
