xpoetmarcr Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Since the youngster here was being fed by a Yellow Warbler, I bet it's safe to say this is a young one. My question is whether a juvenile or immature? What's the difference, or are those descriptions interchangeable? Or...is a juvenile younger than an immature or vicey versy? Can you tell I'm a bit confused with those terms? Thanks for the help. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mila Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I think this post does a good job of explaining the difference: https://help.ebird.org/customer/portal/articles/1010509-what-is-the-difference-between-a-juvenile-and-an-immature- Basically, any bird that is not an adult is an immature. Juvenile is a more specific term that refers to the juvenile plumage, which can last for different lengths of time. By the way, these are great pictures! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
