Posted in the share with members interested in birding.

Really never knew the size difference until seeing them together. Always thought the hairy was just a little bigger than the downy. Not at all....I'd say at least twice as big and maybe even better than that. Like a fox is to a coyote...... MZ Last edited by Zagman; 07/29/18 08:35 PM. Eastern Coyotes.......Western Numbers.
