Kevin Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 I really wanted a better shot of this, but they were too far away and didn't stay next to each other but for a moment. Little Blue Heron(left) and Snowy Egret(right) 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen only one Hairy and that was at a distance. I hadn't realized how close they are in size to Red-bellied. Thanks for this very useful image! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know they were the same size until I looked up the actual measurements after seeing them side by side. The Hairy measures 8.5 to 10.5 inches in length, the Red-bellied measures 9 to 10.5 inches in length. As the photo and numbers show, there is no real size difference between the two. I had always thought of Hairy Woodpeckers to be considerably smaller than Red-bellied Woodpeckers until now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lonestranger Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 It actually looked like the smaller Downy Woodpecker was trying to get a handout from the larger Hairy Woodpecker. Not the momma. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruslan Balagansky Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 I tend to think of DCCRs as quite a bit larger than WEGUs, but seen together, they can appear similarly sized... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stitch58 Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 Like the way this one shows the size difference, can't believe how small the Least Sandpiper is compared to the Caspian & Godwit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
