Paying attention to individual differences can help you identify birds, too. You can recognize many birds simply by noting their shapes, even if seen only in silhouette. Other useful characteristics are a bird’s posture, size, flight pattern, and the kind of habitat in which the bird was seen.
Start by learning to identify general groups of birds– warblers, flycatchers, hawks, owls, wrens–whose members all share certain similarities. As your observation skills improve, familiarize yourself with the field marks–colored or patterned areas on the bird’s body, head, and wings–that help distinguish species.
