Birding Guides To Identify Birds- Birding Guides

Birding Guides are full of tips to identify birds whether they are in flight or sitting still. One simple thing to remember though is the illustrations are only showing you ONE position or posture of the bird. Remember Birds MOVE. And they look different from different angles.

You may only see PART of the bird. How much of the bird do YOU need to identify it? That depends on your skill and on the bird too. Watch this brief clip on perching birds. I have asked the people in my Birding E Course to look closely at the FEET of these birds. You can take this FREE course too. It is fun.

How many do you recognize?  Which ones do you need to look up in your birding guide?

Birding is an Auditory Adventure

Do you hear what I hear? Birds - birds – calling in the trees – its a mystery to me- an auditory adventure.

Stokes Field Guide to Bird Songs: Eastern Region is a book that has an audio component. It is well worth your time.

Beginning Birders may find it challenging to identify bird songs. There are so many sounds out there. And each bird makes more than one song or call. The sounds are so realistic they are sure to capture the attention of your household cat.  My cat looks for the birds making the sounds. I was really surprised when a predator call, like an owl, came on that the cat actually showed anxiety and searched for a hiding place.  Well, once I learned this, I realized it was not fair to terrorize the cat even incidentally. So I used my headset when I wanted to study bird songs and calls.

Once you have a basic awareness of most birds in your area, it is easier to sift through the sounds and narrow the field of choices swiftly. That is when the specific bird songs on the CD are most helpful in identifying the nearby birds. It begins to be fun when you can stroll through the woods and recognize familiar birds by their call, even when you cannot see them.
