Forty-eight of the recoveries came from mside the 40 km radius circle around Turlock. thirtv trap sites were then cleared of stubble and prebaited with chicken scratch. When dove use was evident, traps were set and checked each morning and evening. Traps were constructed of 2- x 1 -inch gauge welded wire, with entrance funnels located at both ends and a hinged door for removal of doves (Figure 2). The pre-season trapping period extended from Julv 9 to August 30. Sex is indistinguishable in recently fledged doves, but young are easily distin- guished from adults by the presence of juvenile wing coverts. Summer banding seems to be differentially selective for immature birds—those locally produced and those drifting through from northern breeding areas. Birds-of-the-year con- stituted of the 957 birds banded in July and August (Table 4). Each pair of breeding doves can be expected to produce to young per season (Cowan 1952). The age ratio at the end of the breeding year, therefore, could be no more than 75 to ll'^/o young. The real age ratio during July and August.
