sharpie or coopers

14 inches from head to tail. Which is just about the crossover size between Coopers and Sharpie. It would be more accurate to say 14 inches is the average size of a Male Cooper's and a female Sharpie. The average size of a male Sharpie is 10 inches. A female Coop is 21. Just as you used your fence to determine the size, we did a similar thing with pictures we took of a juvenile Sharpie female and a juvenile male Cooper's sitting on the same fence. We manipulated one of the pictures to have the board the same width as the board in the other picture. This makes the birds' sizes in porportion to the fence and each other. We put the pictures side by side in a single picture. It is clear you can not tell a size difference between them. BN and all. We put the lines on the picture to show how to tell the difference. Bud Anderson of the Falcon Research Group in Bow, WA, FRG.org, is the only one we have heard speak to this I.D. tip. He claims a Coop is the only hawk type bird in that size range with that head shape in profile. Once you learn to look for the head shape first, as we have, it is much easier to determine if the bird is a Coop. All birds are never still. They are either looking side to side for food or to keep from becoming food. If you are looking with binoculars, it is easy to see even if the bird is not cloose. I f you are taking pictures, take a lot. You will get some with the head in profile. Most people, us included, usually choose the pictures we like best when the bird is looking at us because they look fiercer. I believe a lot of the pictures are posted with that in mind, even when the submitter has pictures in profile. Bob of BnB

I'm not a daytime tv viewer but I did hear through Special channels to watch The Nate Show, so I did. That show so, so, so frequently highlighted families with children with Special Needs and also families in which one / both of the parents are Special Ed teachers -- I found it astonishing (to see them so boldly highlighted as our society prefers to sweep them, and many others, under the rug). It wasn't just one day, or just one week that they remodeled / redecorated for these people, but a recurring theme throughout the few months I kinda followed the show. (I recorded it and then could zoom through to the bits & bobs which interested me.) I also loved and and appreciated that Nate frequently mentioned he has a(n adult) cousin with Autism -- he always said it in a matter-of-fact manner, just like he's Jewish and has a boyfriend. No big deal, no reason to be ashamed (of the cousin) or apologetic (these are sentiments which plague Special families, that somehow we should apologize for our children, for our situation). And by the mere fact that Nate and his producers so often had these normal looking families on it just furthered the fact that Special families **are** normal, but we have some extra considerations (like safety, like communication devices, like no money due to paying for our children's therapies, like often our Special children won't look at the camera for a family portrait, etc.). Additionally, by being generous with gifts and recognition (which they so deserve!) to the SpEd teachers (I recall a few kitchens being redone) he was acknowledging their fantastic, hard work for our fantastic, hard population. They certain deserve every hosanna. So, that's my twenty-two cents re: The Nate Show.

I've thought for a long time that people like me would be excellent as study subjects about weight and people's appetite set points because naturally I simply cannot eat as much food as seems to be normal, never have. Husband is the same; even our kids make fun of us. My daughter says we eat like rabbits and she's probably not that far off. So *for me* one of those tiny hamburgers and a half a bag of small fries from McDonalds is an ample meal. I usually can only handle a few swallows of soda too though I prefer to drink water. I actually strongly dislike even the feel of having a big mouthful of food in my mouth. So weight has never been a problem or even an issue--at 61 YO I currently weigh 3 pounds more than I did when I was 18. I am small boned but at 5'6" and weighing 120 lbs I"m not emaciated or tiny. I just never have had to worry about controlling how much I eat, and have never even been able to pack away a lot of food. Why is that? I don't know, just the way my body functions. I really think if science could figure it out and bottle it a lot of people would have an incredibly easier and healthier life. However, that said I'll ad one very negative consequence has been that I've always had a false sense that there was no need for me to exercise or be active since I was always thin...why bother? WRONG--and recently it's been a battle to start and maintain an exercise and weight training regimen so I don't end up the skinniest old lady on the orthopedic rehab floor!

First time I ever saw Jon Kelly was when he was doing the sports news on TV in Chicago.

I watched. It was pretty interesting...I don't remember the contestants having to do such physically demanding stuff last time around. Then again, my remember-er doesn't work too well sometimes.
