It is not that our Downys are small&#8230;it is that our Hairys are huge. This set of shots of male Hairys and Downys, taken from the same position in my blind with the same lens, on the same suet cage, show the difference well, and draw attention especially to the beaks. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Seen side by side like this, there is no mistaking the difference. Seen one at a time, and in less \u201ccontrolled\u201d conditions, it can still be a challenge. \ud83d\ude42 Processed in Polarr and Apple Photos. Assembled in FrameMagic.
