... My question is simple : what is really the external difference between the European sparrowhawk (Accipiter nisus) and the American Sharp-shinned hawk (Accipiter striatus) ?
Seems to me that it would be very hard to distinguish between both species in the field in the hypothetical situation that you could see both in one day ... OK I know this is silly, it's "fiction", but really when I look into North american and European field guides, I personally really can't see much difference ...
... can anyone help me out on this one and point out the differences between both species ?
Thank you.
