Mindy Smith Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Seen at Lost Lake in Fresno, CA today. Have so much trouble telling these apart. The chest and head seem good for Cooper's but the legs do look thin and the tail in the second shot square. Help appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan B Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I'd say this looks good for Cooper's. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bird Nuts Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Narrow light brown streaks and obviously graduated tail feathers = Cooper's. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindy Smith Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 Thanks but don't understand what you mean about graduated tail feathers. Nice to have you weight in. I always learn from reading your posts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always learn from reading your posts. Looking the the folded tail in photo one, the outer tail feathers (the ones that don’t have any other feathers “on top” of them) are shorter than the central ones. Sharpies have equally long tail feathers. Hope that helps! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
