Note:
Since birds are not usually in hand when identifying, our identification key
are based on visual cues. Often birds are seen with binoculars or with the naked
eye, and only a fleeting glimpse is available. Using this key will give you
some practice in using visual cues to identify birds, but may give a false sense
of security in the ability to identify birds.
