I always knew that hairys are larger than downys, but not that much larger!!!

A great picture to compare sizes.

Wow that's really interesting. It's not often you get both of them in the same shot. It's great for comparing them. Besides the obvioud difference of size, there is a marked difference in the length and shape of the bill.
