I know the Squirrels do it with their fur. Must hurt.

I find feathers around the yard all the time but have never seen them molting.

But I did want to come back and thank everyone for the kind comments. So: thanks, DW, Sue, Larry, Cal, Sharon, Carol, BlueSage and Tanya. Cal, The pictures where an eye is visible show what looks like pin feathers around the eye, so I think they are molting. Most birds here have already laid their eggs. It gets too hot for hatchlings in early June, sometimes even in May, giving them a big impetus for an early start.
