Identifications by Sight


There are five weekly assignments.

Each week we will learn to identify about 25 species.

Focus on the field marks (those features that eliminate all other species) for each species.

The Sibley Field Guide to Eastern Birds indicates field marks by means of arrows and brief phrases on the pictures (also see the text).

Page numbers in the following lists refer to the Sibley Field Guide.
