Abstract
During a study of the ecology of mourning doves (Zenaida macroura) in Jackson County, southwestern Oklahoma, we noted (Morrison and Lewis 1974) that the post juvenal molt of primary feathers progressed at a slower rate than is described in the literature (Jenkins 1955:23, Swank 1955, Southeastern Association of Game and Fish Commissioners 1957:102, Allen 1963, Hanson and Kossack 1963:82). This paper documents the existence of delayed molt patterns and discusses the implications.
