It’s pretty subjective but the tarsi and toes look a little too robust for a sharpie — but there’s not much difference between a male Coop and a female sharpie. I don’t have a lot of experience with sharp-shins (plenty with Cooper’s) but every sharpie I’eve seen — unambiguously identified by other criteria — has shown that bug-eyed expression. > On Nov 9, 2025, at 9:03 PM, Mark Chappell <markchappell666...> wrote: > > _________________________________ Mark Chappell email: <markchappell666...> Professor of Evolution, Ecology, and Organismal Biology (Emeritus) University of California, Riverside, CA 92521 work website: https://profiles.ucr.edu/app/home/profile/chappell photography website: http://faculty.ucr.edu/~chappell/INW/index.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mbbirds" group.
