http://www.wildbirds.com/Identify.htm
Identifying Wild Birds Wildbirds What was That? Strange new birds come to our feeders. Spring migration arrives and colorful warblers appear for a day or two before continuing north. A vacation to visit friends in another state brings new memories and new birds! Watching birds is fun, but it is even more fun if you can put a name with the bird. Most of us know what a Robin looks like. We probably fed Mallard Ducks at the pond. We could even identify a Bald Eagle or a Canada Goose without much effort. But what do you do when something totally new appears? It helps to have a Field Guide for the birds of your area. If you know where to look in the book, you might be able to find a picture of your bird. Computer programs are incredibly helpful for identifying birds. You can enter a bird's color, size, habitat and sound and then see photos of all the birds that match your description! One of the most helpful tricks when identifying birds is to know where you saw the bird! Even though there are 10,000 different species of birds in the world, only about 100 are likely to show up in your yard but which 100? To answer that question, you need a checklist of the birds of your area.

A guide to not mis-identifying birds
Identifying birds is tough. It's tough for experienced birders and it's even tougher for new birders. Birds have a variety of different plumages including: winter, summer, juvenile, first spring, male, female, eclipse and combinations thereof. Plus they molt. So don't feel bad if you can't identify every bird you see. On the other hand, learning those different plumage patterns, and the other clues that help identify birds, is what makes this hobby fun. In this article, I'd like to give you, the new birder, eleven tips on how to avoid mis-identifying birds. This happens a lot, and I've come up with just a few recommendations which will help you more accurately determine what that little, flying critter is in your back yard. 1. Carefully study the bird. Start at the tip of the bill and work your way back, memorizing the sizes, shapes, and colors as well as the plumage of the bird. Also note the vocalizations, food source, behavior and the habitat. If you can make written notes, that's even better. But most people don't carry sufficient office supplies into the field. Memorize what you can. 2. Avoid looking in the field guide for as long as possible.

On Saturdays and Sundays during September and October (weather permitting) the Golden Gate Raptor Observatory sponsors a "HawkTalk" at noon and a banding demonstration at 1:00PM on Hawk Hill . They usually, but not always have a recently banded Raptor that they release during the "Banding Demo".
The Golden Gate Raptor Observatory (GGRO) is three staff members and more than 250 community volunteers, all dedicated to studying the autumn hawk migration. The GGRO's guiding philosophy is that public involvement is a critical, yet often ignored component of long-term wildlife conservation. The GGRO's mission is to inspire the preservation of California raptor populations The GGRO was formed in the early 1980s to track the Golden Gate migration, an annual flight of tens of thousands of hawks, eagles falcons, and vultures - birds collectively called "raptors."

Identifying Birds
By now you're familiar with the organization of field guides and with some of the different families of birds. You have binoculars and can spot an object with your naked eye and then look at it through the binoculars without having to search for ten minutes. Most importantly, you've avoided the frustration - so far - of trying to associate a particular name with a particular bird. Now, to accomplish this feat, let's go over some helpful techniques for learning to identify families and species of birds. The first thing to remember is: don't make bird identification hard on yourself. There are two general rules to keep in mind during your first few months of Birdwatching: 1) eliminate as many species as possible from consideration before you ever attempt to identify anything, and 2) the bird is most likely a species that commonly occurs in your area, not some strange exotic that blew in from a thousand miles away. These rules are closely tied to one another, and they focus on making birding easier by reducing the number of choices you have to consider. For example, in Florida there is only one type of hummingbird that occurs regularly, the ruby-throated hummingbird (verify this from your field guide, if you like). Several other hummingbirds have been seen in Florida on occasion, but why worry about trying to identify these uncommon vagrants until you have more experience with our most common species?

To access, you must have Adobe Acrobat Reader (this section is two printed pages) Written by Jim Cox 1999 revisions by Alex Kropp If you are familiar with Birdwatching basics, jump ahead to read about The Equipment and Identifying Birds No one knows the sights and sounds of nature quite like a bird watcher. By taking a half-second look at a small darting assemblage of brown, yellow, and white feathers and adding a call note that sounds something like "chip," a "birder" can tell you, not only was that one of 42 different types of warblers, but it specifically was a yellow-rumped warbler. This is not a boast. It is a simple fact. To distinguish among the 900+ species of birds found in the U.S., birders must quickly process a great deal of information on color patterns, call notes, and even the shapes of bills. They have to know what to key in on when they see a strange bird, noting its overall shape, how it moves through a bush or tree, and the shape of its wings. Such sensory work-outs help to develop great visual and hearing acuity among birders. In fact, birders are generally much more observant than the average person. Birding will also make you more familiar with the natural beauty of Florida and perhaps will lead you to appreciate how quickly that beauty is being lost. Florida has the third greatest number of different bird species of any state in the nation, but the continued existence of many of these species is threatened by the more than 1,200 new residents that move to Florida each week. Many birds simply do not tolerate the urban landscapes created by these new human residents. Thirty-six species are officially listed as being in trouble in Florida and five species have become extinct - never to be seen again. Birding also coaxes you into new country and enables you to take in all the fresh air and impressive scenery that you can hold. Most important, though, is the fact that birding is simply too much fun to be missed.

Visit The Landings at Skidaway Island, Georgia 11/06/04. Learning to identify birdsis fun and frustrating. Here are some tips to make identifying birds easier.
http://www.birding.com/Bird_Identification.asp
birding.com Learning to identify birds is fun and frustrating. A field guide can help you attach a name to most of the birds you see. Field guides are books with pictures and descriptions of the birds. A field guide typically shows birds of just one country or even one region of a country. You will soon learn that many of the birds you see just can't be identified with 100% certainty. But with practice, you should at least be able to narrow your ID down to the correct family was it a Sparrow or a Thrush? You are about to discover that birders seem to have given a name to every inch on a bird's body. Do you know where to find a bird's wing bars, primaries, superciliary and malar stripe? These diagrams will help:
Parts of a Bird
Head

Body

Wing
Glossary Use this Glossary to look up words that describe parts of a bird.
Here are some tips to make identifying birds easier. First ask "How big is the bird?" Is it as big as a sparrow, a robin, a pigeon, a chicken or an ostrich? Is the bird fat or skinny, long or short. Look at each part of the bird. Is its bill short or long, thick or thin, curved or straight? How about the tail? What shape is it? Is it forked? Are the bird's wings pointed or curved, long or short?
After you do all this, then notice the main colors of the bird. This sounds crazy, but it works. If you do not believe it, turn to the Roadside silhouettes inside the front cover of your Peterson Field Guide to Eastern Birds or Peterson Field Guide to Western Birds. With practice, you will be able to recognize all these birds just by their silhouette.

19. Identifying Birds
Is the bird approachable or secretive? Voice For an added identificationchallenge, try learning the songs and calls of birds.
http://migratorybirds.pacific.fws.gov/identification_basics.htm
Identification Basics
Just as you know your friends by their voices or physical characteristics, the experienced birder knows a species of bird by a glimpse of its tail or the shape of its bill. These particular clues are called field marks. Other common field marks include size, shape, habitat, voice, and behavior. The best way to become familiar with field marks is to start watching the birds in your front yard or local park. Spend time observing the bird while it is in sight, then go to the field guide to identify it. Note as many field marks as time will allow. Once you have made note of the obvious field marks, you can easily refer to a field guide to identify the bird. A notebook for recording field marks and a pair of binoculars will help with identification.
The Main Field Marks to Note Are:
  • Size Try to get an idea of the size of the bird. A familiar bird such as the American robin or a set object nearby, can be helpful comparisons to judge the relative size. Shape What shape is the body, tail, bill and wings? Note relative size, width, length and thickness to name a few. For example, is the bill cone shaped or pointy, larger or smaller than a pencil tip?
