I am wondering if anyone on this list serve is an expert on the molt sequence of gallinacious birds, specifically ruffed grouse. A related question/observation....The Sibley Guide to Birds shows a diagram of an adult male ruffed grouse in display posture with incomplete tail barring of the interior two feathers. I was taught the incomplete bar was indicative of females. Was my teaching incorrect?
