V.J. Heller J. C. Lewis J.A. Morrison J.W. Ault 1976 <p>During a study of the ecology of mourning doves (<i>Zenaida macroura</i>) 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.</p> application/pdf 10.2307/3800179 en Wiley Delayed molt of primary feathers of mourning doves during winter article
