Figure 2. Dove trap used in this study, shuwing lunnel eniitincei. must be considerably less than that since all young for the season are not yet fledged, and mortality of fledglings must be higher than that for adults as suggest- ed by the lower recovery rate of birds banded as nestlings (Table 1).

Eighty-two percent of the 100 recoveries were within 40 km (25 miles) of the banding site (Figure 3), all shot in September. Six immatures and one adult were recovered in Mexico during the winter months at distances of 1,900 to 2,900 km (1,200 to 1,800 miles) south of the banding location. Of 18 recoveries at distances in excess of 40 km, 15 were south and 3 were north of the banding site. Greatest longevity was an immature banded in 1969 and recovered in 1974 near Villa Victoria, Michoacan, Mexico.
