A friend sent me an email about male
& female birds and how to tell the difference between them.
After thinking about it I realized that I didn't know how to tell them
a
part. I always thought it had to be determined either surgically
or by close inspection post-mortem (with the exception of birds that
have obvious differences such as Cardinals, Robins, etc.). He
included a picture that
makes it easy for even the layman to tell the difference. After
studying the picture maybe you to will be able to tell the difference
when you spot a pair of birds in the field. Here's the
instructive
photo.
