Hi All
Further to my question about terminology for the avian young, I thought of 2
other terms that we often use: subadult and juvenile. Thus we have at least
5 terms (subadult, juvenile, fledgling, first year, hatch year). Are there
more? Of course I have not mentioned the overlap(s) with molt terminology.
My quest for simplicity seems doomed.
Cheers
