Vermiculated feathers at base of hind neck and a few in scapular region. New black under and upper tail-coverts, although, tail is old and broken. New primaries, secondaries, tertiaries, and wing coverts. November 19, 1911. The high plumage now has the upper hand and the only remains of the eclipse are in the back, flanks, and tail coverts. December 10, 1911. There are still a few old feathers of the eclipse plumage among the scapulars and interscapulars and flanks and sides of rump. The tail feathers still seem to be old, although new black tail- coverts have replaced old ones. December 17, 1911. In same state as last Sunday, although a little farther along.
