What starts as a legitimate ornithological guide takes a hard left turn into existential horror. The northern cardinal's molting process is apparently more terrifying than any documentary ever mentioned. That third panel—where the bird temporarily transforms into some Lovecraftian nightmare during its molt—is what happens when your field biologist has been alone in the woods for too long. Field guides never warn you about the "eldritch abomination" stage between juvenile and adult female. Probably why my bird feeder attendance drops mysteriously every September.
