Easy Ways to Get Started in Bird Identification

To many novice bird watchers, the art of bird identification sounds difficult or downright impossible. But, with some quick tips and a little knowledge, bird identification can be a fun and easy to learn hobby.

Most bird watchers, or birders, get started with the hobby in their own backyard. According to many bird watching clubs, this technique is the simplest and fasted way to begin learning about bird identification. If a backyard setting is not feasible, the use of local or state parks is the second favorite choice.

To get started all you will need is an inexpensive pair of binoculars, a bird feeder, a notebook and a field guide. Experienced birders recommend that novices set up a bird feeder in their back yard to attract an adequate amount of birds. Once the birds start visiting, they recommend that beginner's use their notebook and field guide to observe and document six main characteristics of the birds that they see.

These six main categories are the simplest to differentiate and also a great place to start gaining knowledge. The six categories include the color of the bird, its shape, its size, its general habits, its habitat and finally, its song or call.

Another tip for novice birders is to keep their beginning identification skills limited to the easy bird groups and common species. These birds include hawks, owls and wrens. These types of birds have fewer differences and not as many species to identify. Once a beginner can distinguish these birds easily they will be ready to move on to tougher, more complicated species such as warblers and woodpeckers.

Perhaps the best way for a beginner to learn about bird identification is through a bird watching group or club. By joining other bird watchers, beginners can acquire the knowledge to identify many types of birds in a short amount of time.
