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.

GORP Wildlife ACTIVITIES Birding by Ear Identifying birds by song and other sounds Adapted from Birding for Beginners by Sheila Buff When it comes to finding and identifying birds, sound can be as important as appearance. Learning to recognize bird sounds will increase your enjoyment of birding enormously. Birds make a variety of sounds with a variety of purposes. The most recognizable bird sounds are the lovely notes warbled by songbirds, but virtually all birds (swans and vultures are among the rare exceptions) have songs of a sort and make other sounds called vocalizations. All bird vocalizations are produced by the syrinx, an organ located in the trachea just above the branching of the bronchi leading to the lungs. As a rule, the more developed the syrinx, the more complex the sounds it can produce. Songbirds generally have highly developed syrinxes and thus produce the most complex song. Interestingly, because the song is produced entirely within the syrinx, many birds can sing with their mouths full or even closed. A Western meadowlark sings from a perch on a fencepost.

Tour de France Preview from Outside Online Skill Builders Expert Answers Discussion Boards ACTIVITIES Expert Answers Identifying Birds by Sound Twyla's Question: John: I would like to become more adept at identifying birds by sound. Any tips for learning? Twyla Answer: Twyla, You're definitely right in thinking you'll ID more birds if you become familiar with calls; so many species, especially warblers, sparrows, and other songbirds, are so small and secretive that it's very difficult to see them long enough to make a positive identification. Sam Fried Sam Fried Sam Fried has seen and photographed almost all North American birds. Meet Sam Previous Answers One of the very best first steps is to purchase a cassette tape or CD of bird songs. These can be found in most any larger bookstore, or some of the national bird food chain stores, such as Wild Birds Unlmited. I prefer a cassette tape because I can listen to it in my truck while driving down the road; it's also possible to take a walkman-style outfit right into the field, listen to a few calls, and then start walking and listening to what's around you. Be sure to review the list of species included on each tape or CD and make sure they're birds native to the state or region or habitat type (northern forests, southern forests, and grasslands, for example) you're going to be in. And definitely listen to the calls beforehand, either at home or (as I often do) in your vehicle. Get familiar with a few of them before you hit the field.

Publications Birdwatching Basics Part Two: Identifying Birds (this section is five printed pages) Identifying Birds Identification Clues Silhouette - Shape and Size Plumage ... Additional Tips 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?

Additional Material IDENTIFYING BIRDS Allow students to tell what birds they are able to recognize by sight. Make a list of suggestions as to how they can identify these birds. Using a chart of bird species, have students identify any features that they think would be useful in distinguishing the kind of bird shown. Categorise all these suggestions, making a chart for each group. Possible groupings could be as follows: body shape - wings, tails, feet and/or beaks. markings - eye lines, wing bars, stripes, spots,or colour. behaviours - flight patterns, walking, swimming, perching, tree climbing, feeding behaviours. Note: The Peterson Field Guide offers an excellent introduction to bird identification. Prior to beginning formal observation and recording, take some time to observe birds at the feeder. Practise using binoculars, look for identifying characteristics. Tip: To use binoculars, keep eyes on bird and raise binoculars to eyes. That way one doesn't lose sight of the bird to be observed. Practise using Field Guides. FEEDERS AND SEEDS 1) Platform Feeder - basically a tray on a post. Use large seeds such as cracked corn, sunflower seeds and commercial bird seed mix.

35. Bird Song Here are two lists of mnemonics and other descriptions that can be used as an aidto remembering and identifying birds in the field by their songs and calls. http://www.1000plus.com/BirdSong/

Tomm Lorenzin and BirdSong Mnemonics by Voice by Bird Here are two lists of mnemonics and other descriptions that can be used as an aid to remembering and identifying birds in the field by their songs and calls. The first list, by Voice , is sorted alphabetically by the sounds birds make. The second, by Bird , is sorted alphabetically by bird name. One can hear many more birds than one can see on most field trips. It's great fun and as much a rewarding challenge to identify birds by their sounds as by their appearance and behavior. I discovered this some years ago at the prompting of a friend, as she pointed out the White-throated Sparrow that we could hear but could not see. We chased it down until we could see it, and I have been obsessed with bird songs and calls ever since. ( Thank you, Ailleen Stanley! These lists do not take the place of actually hearing bird vocalizations either in the field or via the audio materials listed below. Rather, they are offered as an aid to "holding onto" a bird song or call heard in the field until you can use an audio guide for a positive identification or confirmation. Better yet, chase down your subject, if possible, to see what bird is making the sound you're hearing. That - for me - is the very best way to learn and remember what birds make what sounds. I also find that the more I use mnemonics to characterize bird vocalizations, the more songs and calls I actually hear in the outdoors. Ergo, the more familiar I become with the sounds birds make, the more often I can identify from memory birds I can hear but cannot see. The key here is "

Night Life Nocturnal Birds the Minority Owl ( Strix uralensis Large eyes positioned at front are most appropriate for a nocturnal bird. The owls are known as nighttime hunters, and pursue the same kind of prey (such as small nocturnal birds and mice) as do birds like eagles. But since these birds feed at different times, they rarely compete directly with each other. (Photo: Mr. KISAICHI, Kazuyasu) Nocturnal birds have special characteristics that the daytime birds do not. Unlike the day birds, nocturnal birds have large eyes in front, a distinctive feature of owls, to help them see better in limited light. Also, they have slighter larger ears, which are positioned differently from those of day birds to help them "hear" their prey better in the dark. Daytime and nocturnal birds Red-capped Green Pigeon ( Sphenurus formosae The herons, the jungle crow, carrion crow, gray starling, and the white wagtail sleep in large groups easily spotted by many people. However, many birds sleep individually or in small groups when it is not the mating season. (Photograph: TSUNEDA, Mamoru)
