Very similar..but the Bewick seems to have more of Texas in its range.

I just scare them off periodically, along with my neighbor's formerly-feral cats, and try not to get all wee-weed up about them.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08681758051433522246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327638960016684551.post-13604168246608767372009-02-09T08:09:00.000-06:002009-02-09T08:09:00.000-06:00Fried squirrel with mild gravy and mashed potatoes...Fried squirrel with mild gravy and mashed potatoes is the way to go.Lisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327638960016684551.post-43369788422385322232009-02-09T06:54:00.000-06:002009-02-09T06:54:00.000-06:00MrBrownThumb -- we have a large wooded area, so a ...MrBrownThumb -- we have a large wooded area, so a lot of birds and a lot of feeders.
