Hi. There are a few ways to tell them apart. Bobby’s form is very sleek and his coloration on his head and belly is more of a charcoal brown. Sadie is much more red and is almost always has her feathers more puffed out (probably because I mostly see her when she’s sitting relaxed).

With the fledglings it’s a matter of recognizing and distinguishing the dark brown feather patterns around their apricot-colored chests. And by their sizing if they’re sitting close to each other. F1 is the largest of the bunch and F3 the smallest which helps.

I love the photograph of F3 peeking over the edge of the building. He’s adorable. Mother Sadie and Bobby are such good parents taking care of their three babies. What a wonderful story. Thank you for the photos!
