Additional photos of a hatching
year female Yellow Warbler
(Dendroica petechia,
subspecies?) banded on September 19, 2002
at Powdermill Nature Reserve,
Pennsylvania (40°10'N, 79°15'W)
Measurements taken at banding:
wing chord (unflattened), 58.5mm; tail length, 46.5mm; tarsus, 19.2mm;
bill (nares to tip), 8.0mm; body mass
(with large visible fat deposits), 9.8g
Wing formula (distance from tip of each primary to the wingtip):
P1--11.0mm, P2--9.0mm, P3--7.5mm, P4--6.0mm, P5--4.0mm, P6--0.5mm, P7--0.0mm, P8--0.0mm, P9--0.0mm
NOTE--outer primaries 7-9 together formed the wingtip, although P8 and
P9 were ever so slightly (<<0.5mm) shorter than P7;
the distance from the wingtip to the tip of P1 (roughly the "primary projection")
was about 3-4mm shorter than typical for
YWARs banded at this locality.
