As the secondary coverts, which
will not as a series, all coming
in and as the tail area
increases in plain surface - the
flight ability is necessarily. He
Can now maintain a level for
12 feet or so. This is true
regardless of his wet which at
Tony had reached 55.97.
The left wing is almost fulled
except for some frayed remnant. The
right wing which for so long has
lacked many feathers of which has
produced some twisted or aborted
secondaries due to pulling is now
growing their full normal
secondary outside the thus running
I give promise of improving
the flight.
The head has lost almost all
superficial tone of jet feathers but
there are still a few obscured
below the longer lesser 1st year
plumage. The breast or back free
very dark - brownish - the pattern
of gambeli characters. Not the
gray gray breast or back of anthony;
but shape in east.
The feathers now coming in on the
breast are less dark however as
nearly as I can tell, and I get
the effect of a dilution of the
rich almost chocolate spermentation.
