Molting of northern yellow-throat in southern Michigan
During the summer of 1938, detailed studies were made of the molts of the Northern Yellow-throat, Geothlypis trichas brachidactyla, in southern Michigan. Observations of the post-natal molt were made each day on nestlings found near Geddes Pond, one mile east of Ann Arbor. Studies of the post-juvenal and post-nuptial molts were from fresh specimens collected at Portage Lake in Jackson County.

They are necessary for converting crowing-cock indices to population estimates even where annual trends are to be studied in the same area. Reliability of population estimates from hunting season kill of pheasants suffers primarily from inability to estimate sex ratios accurately. Fall sex ra
