Male-female, adult-immature
It is always a good idea to edit your entry and add this information once you have. I did it for you this time. This is an adult male.

Thank you.
Silly question - but how do you mangage the male (or female) symbol??

The program does it
When you edit your entry there is a field for male, female, immature, adult. When you click on it the computer does the rest.
One of the reasons why this info is valuable is that you can use the advanced search and search for example only adults, females, by month, by state, etc. Only the ones properly marked show up. It can be very useful.
Let me know if you have any trouble.
