Eastern vs. Rio Identification - 03/25/10 06:28 PM
Does anyone know the best way to tell the difference between an Eastern and a Rio? I've read that the Eastern has darker tips on it's tail feathers/fan, but it seems like it would be difficult to tell the difference with a live bird in front of you in the field. I've hunted Rios all my life near Brady, but have a place in Grayson County where there is potential to see both. Thoughts?
