The DBC Board is pleased to present Mini-Tutorials on the DBC YouTube Channel.
Mini-tutorial covering songbird plumage (feathers) and molt, which is the process of replacing feathers with new ones. The video establishes some basic plumage and molt vocabulary, and goes into examples of immature and mature birds and how much their appearance can change throughout a year. Some birds, like the American Redstart and Orchard Oriole, take more than a year before we see their full adult plumage. American Goldfinch, Chipping Sparrow, Yellow-rumped Warbler, Blackpoll Warbler, European Starling, and others are covered.
