I've seen pictures of molting cardinals that lose most of their head feathers, but a couple months ago would be too early for molting season, I think. I'm glad she's ok!

Thanks @corvidae!! I think (if it is her) then she would've molted and had new feathers by now so I'm definitely leaning towards the mite issue. Luckily, if it is that then she should be able to grow her feathers back when it cools off. She seems very good otherwise and I hope she continues to do well. 😊💖
