Male and females only differ in size and weight.

[ame]

hmm..? my bird guide shows some difference in colours, too.
not much difference though, and that's on the back. male's back looks dark grey and female's dark brown. but we didn't see the top of this bird and we also don't have any comparison.

15:15 Milda flew in with a black ball in her claws. she picked it. was it a big cone?
15:16:13 an adult flew from the right over the meadow to the left by the nest tree.
15:16 she lay down on the nest.

[ame]

15:20 Milda got up. the black ball was a spruce cone.
