I may have been looking at my adults too much and forgetting how they looked when young.

These pics are of wild Blue Mountains blotchies from a couple of years ago. They were only an hour or two old at the time of the pics.

Went through my pics and found these from 2009. They were about 7 months old at the time.

They are wild ones from the backyard.

This one had the most orange.
