To identify among the 900+ species of birds identified in the U.S., bird watchers must quickly process a great deal of details on color patterns, song patterns, and even the shape of bills. They have to know what to key in on when they discover a unusual bird, noting its overall shape, how it moves through a bush or tree, as well as the shape of its wings. Such sensory work-outs help to develop great visual and hearing skill among birders. In fact, birders are generally much more observant than the average person.

To the beginning bird watcher, this might seem like an incredible task that they may never be able to achieve. Trying to identify even common species can be very frustrating, and many people today give up before they ever actually begin. I can only hope this article will perk your interest in wild bird watching and I hope in our future articles you will learn many things that the beginning or novice bird watcher will enjoy for years to come.
