Swainsons Thrush (Catharus ustulatus) Science Article 1 abstract We estimated annual rates of survival for juvenile and adult Swainson’s Thrushes (Catharus ustulatus) using capture-recapture analyses from 22 years of mist-netting data in coastal California (n = 2,651 individual captures). Our apparent survival estimate was 56% for adults and 25% for juveniles. We are the first […]
