Candydez12 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 For this challenge, without looking at field guides or online, guess which bird is heavier. Whoever is right first will be the next person to post which bird is heavier. (Meaning if you win, you will say the birds next) We will start out with: Which one is heavier? A spotted Towhee, A evening Grosbeak, or A black - throated green warbler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
