I noticed that someone on this list said he looked for a BIGGER bird. Well, our (old edition) Peterson says the hoary is SMALLER than the common (4 1/2 -5 1/2 for the hornemanni and 5-5 1/2 for the flammea)! Pat Mackay looked in her Sibley, and it also said the hoary was a bit bigger than the common. Our Burrows book also says the hoary is bigger. Wow. Did Roger Tory Peterson actually make a mistake?? The illustration in our Burrows shows the side of the hoary's head (lores and auricular) to be very light. What have you experts found? Happy new year everyone, and thanks again for all the help we've gotten from so many of you in 07. It has been a joy for us to learn something about the birds this past year.
