Not too many here know that I am an avid bird watcher.<br />I like to just sit on the porch and watch them around all the different feeders that I have.<br /><br />I have been watching now for some 15 years or so and I study them all the time for different actions mean different things when they are around the feeders.<br /><br />Some, you know which is the male by the color of the bird and others all look the same to me.<br /><br />I know that there are some more bird watchers on here and was wondering if maybe you could take a look at these two birds and tell me which is the male and which one is female.<br /><br />I can not figure it out to save me.<br />I can see no difference in color, shapes of feathers, etc, nothing.<br />Please look and see and thanks.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br /><br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br /><br />.<br />.<br />..<br /><br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />

Re: Bird watching

You must be living a charmed life if you can't figure this out.<br />Perhaps if you got off the porch someday and watch some other birds, you would get a clue that would help you figure it out.<br /><br />Here are a few locations to check out.<br /><br />946 Elm st<br />Oshkosh WI<br /><br />4233 Kostas Way<br />Streamwood IL<br /><br />1367 S 87th street<br />West Allis WI
