Practice seeing differences when observing birds!

~ look at specific parts of the bird rather than the whole bird at once.

~ watch the bird as long as possible (describe it aloud, draw/write notes, then look it up in the field guide)

~ notice topography of the bird (crown, eye stripe, undertail coverts, belly, breast, leading edge, tail shape, etc.)]]> 2017-05-11 01:43:01 UTC https://padlet.com/altheagyde/sentinelapesbirding/wish/171144960 Birding Field Notes altheagyde https://padlet.com/altheagyde/sentinelapesbirding/wish/171147770 2017-05-11 02:13:56 UTC https://padlet.com/altheagyde/sentinelapesbirding/wish/171147770 Writing Assignment for "A Guide to Bird Watching altheagyde https://padlet.com/altheagyde/sentinelapesbirding/wish/171562494
