Bird Identification

When it comes to Identifying birds, I stink! Oh, I can ID a robin, or a blue jay or a blue heron and a few others but that's about it. A lot of times when I'm out taking photos I'll take some shots of some of the birds in the Cuyahoga Valley NP but I have no idea what bird it is or even how I would go about trying to identify it. Until recently I didn't have a clue on how to ID a bird or even where to begin looking in the birding books, but now thanks to the All About Birds site I have a better understanding on how to ID birds. They have some excellent videos that teach you how to ID birds. They have four videos that you can watch online right now to teach you the basics of bird identification:

1. Shape and Size
2. Color Pattern
3. Behavior
4. Habitat

So if you'd like to learn more about Bird Identification then check out this site: Inside Birding, Learn how to better identify birds
