This is Baloo on
 February 12, 2001
 after a bath.

This time,
she is dry.

Note the
 increased
 abundance
of longer,
thicker,
fluffier
 down and
increasing
numbers of
 contours
appearing
outside
 the down

This is also Baloo on
 February 12, 2001.

Note the
 abundant
down feathers
 on the body
 under the wing.

This patch of down
is often the first area
to be damaged
and the last
 to be allowed to
to grow out.
