Those underlined are birds
personally banded. It was not
possible to separate one year old
birds from three older since the
upper primary coverts were in
some cases already replaced; in
some molted without yet being
replaced; in some apparently
worn to the point of being in-
distinguishable.
2040. Took a male in the trap
in front of house; #7 primary molted.
