Here is a picture of the gang for ya. The boys in black and the white crested female have lost their wing feathers because of molting. You can see it really well on the boys with the pin feathers sticking out. The gray female is going through a slower molt, but she is getting a lot prettier gray than when I got her. The big white male there seems to be the only one that is not loosing feathers like the others.
If you look really close in the background you can see the male mallards are going through the change from juvie to adult.
The geese have just finished up their molting too so lots of feathered friends doing what nature intended.

If I went around the yard and the pond area I could probably fill up a couple of pillows with all the feathers that are laying around.
It's been interesting to watch the fish jumping up out of the water after the feathers thinking they are getting a tasty meal.
