Phi, survival probability; p, recapture probability; time (t), parameters are allowed to change between capture occasions; age, parameters are allowed to change according to age of the birds (young and adult birds); tie, width of the black breast band; +, only main factors included in the model; *, main factors and its interaction included in the model.
