They moult at the end of summer: http://benburtt.blogspot.com/2004/02/bald-headed-cardinals-and-blue-jays-in.html (Looks like the feeder is moulting too. It's raccoon damage from previous years.)

Certainly are an amazing colour even when moulting. David.

Still beautiful with that brilliant color, despite the moult. I guess he matches the feeder!
