OK, I'm not afraid to show my ignorance. Since there is no such thing as a dumb question, what I would like to know is:
When did we start referring to birds (gulls only, or other species?) as a certain cycle instead of a certain year or season? Is there a difference? Is there a new field guide out that refers to cycles?
While I'm at it, just what is the difference between a female-plumaged bird and a female bird? Does this imply that a female-plumaged bird could be a male?
Please respond on line in case there is someone other than me who would like to know the answers.
Thanks!
