Adult vs Juvenile

  • RenoHatesMe by RenoHatesMe

    I've seen quite a few condors whose head and neck color seems to be intermediate between juvenile and adults. I think these are "teenagers" transitioning from juvenile to adult. How should we report these? Adult? Juvenile? Or neither?

    We would like you to report these as juveniles. For adults - we would consider them an adult once they have their full adult plumage and coloring . Thanks very much for your question!
