Furthermore, no one has ever previously defined feathers as being only remiges and rectrices or flight feathers. |
Wing area was reduced by taping primary remiges five to seven. |
The remiges remain sheathed, but the body feathers emerge from the tips of the sheaths. |
The plumage of the remiges of the wings of every species of owl that I have yet examined is remarkably soft and pliant. |
The excellent fossil remains of feathers from the several specimens of Archaeopteryx are remiges and rectrices. |
Furthermore every species of Lagopus has its first set of remiges coloured brown. |
