No species arrived with high fat loads in spring, and generally low fat levels in autumn suggest that high-latitude passerine migrants in North America are paying most of the energetic costs of long-distance migration from resources obtained en route to their wintering grounds.
Among passerine migrants near these high-latitude breeding grounds, seasonal fat deposition strategies appear to be in response to energetic needs at the level of daily maintenance rather than to hypothesized insurance needs in spring or to the forthcoming needs of a long-distance migration in autumn.
The brief subarctic summer limits the time available for birds to complete their reproductive activities, yet the temporal requirements of high-latitude passerine migrants are not well understood.

 Auk, The: Identification Guide to North American Birds. Part 1. Columbidae through Ploceidae
In addition, much of our improved understanding of molts and plumages, mainly of near-passerines and tyrannids, and of their relationships to age and sex, is due to insights gained by Pyle and his colleagues from more than 1,000 hours of work examining more than 9,000 nonpasserine and 16,000 passerine study skins of 288 species.
Each family is preceded by a brief but very useful summary of general physical attributes of the family, with particular reference to aging, sexing, and molts and plumages.
In addition, Pyle has added excellent new sections on: (1) incomplete molts and aging in near-passerines, owls, and woodpeckers; (2) identifying, aging, and sexing small hummingbirds; and (3) molt limits in North American passerines.
