Much as I’ve heard that (Naked as a Jaybird) I have never seen one deplumbed. I wonder how the saying started. And I like to feel that I have an “expectation of privacy” in my house, and if I step out to swim that way (I DO have solid 6’ walls).
DAZZ: They are altricial (hatch without feathers), but most birds do (exceptions: fowl and aquatics like ducks, etc. which hatch will a full coat of down). Killdeer hatch with the same color pattern as adults. These precocial species are able to get around on their own within minutes of hatching. A related saying is “a scandal to the jaybirds”, from the habit of eating other bird’s nestlings and similar anthropomorphically bad behavior.

Generally the male bird has the brighter coloring. I don’t know what’s going on with “Alice” and his partner with the binoculars.

These days, somebody would be bound to take digital photos and post them as Pictures of an Exhibitionist.

If you don’t like what you see, don’t look.
