Connor Cochrane Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 (edited) Yup. That’s correct. It’s not often people get this ID right. Nice job. Edited December 6, 2020 by Connor Cochrane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zbird Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 I agree. That short bill on the Downy in the first pic vs. the longer bill on the Hairy in the second pic, as well as the lack of spotting on the white HAWO tail feathers in the second pic. Great shots of both of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
