Abstract: | A technique for age determination of young Montana blue grouse (Dendragapus obscurus pallidus) based on measurements of actively growing juvenal and postjuvenal primary feathers of 17 pen-raised birds is described. When tested on 87 approximate known-age wild birds to 16 weeks, 95 percent of 116 determinations were within 1 week of the expected age. Supplemental characters for aging juveniles in the field are presented. |
