Help Identify Birds

I kept getting errors on the second one, so I never actually finished it. I'll have to give it a go again.

I love the Cornell website, they have sounds for all the birds. I'll sometimes go through the list and play them all. Gets the cats all riled up. >:3

Oh this is great! It's a fantastic idea. My sister and I have gotten into bird watching recently since seeing "The Big Year" . I have trouble identifying them by sound though, since I'm new at bird watching. I used to keep count of the birds I used to see and their names (like Mimus polyglotus or Tiaris bicolor for example) or their common names (like the Greater Antillean Grackle) but I didn't write them down. I also don't know what their names are since people here call them by different names. redface

I do however think this is a great idea. Perhaps we could post the birds that we identify on a daily basis. Just in every day life. SO we can learn to identify them, interact with other Gaians who are interested in the subject, learn and just have fun.

I think it would be interesting to see the bird submissions since we all live in different parts of the world.

This of course is a suggestion. Let me know what you think of it. whee

:3 I love bird watching, but I don't go much farther than putting out food and watching from my window. That's impressive that you know the Latin names.

http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/browse/ac <- I'm assuming you're in North America if you have grackles, so this bird guided you may like.

I think that's a fantastic suggestion. Perhaps a new thread were we can post pictures of the birds we've seen. I have a trio of Stellar Jays that stop by often (usually heckling me to feed them). I'll let you start the thread if you want. <3

Sure I'll start the tread. I will need suggestions on editing and graphics to make it look nice. Under what area of the forums in the Guild should I start the thread?

I don't know all their Latin names. But it's best since the birds names can change according to the region or country your in. So whenever I can I identify the bird by it's Latin name. 3nodding

Feel free to make it in the main forum here. I won't be able to help in the graphics department unfortunately; my computer doesn't like to run any heavy programs. Fancy font colours it is! xD

Pirhan, check out the tread I created.... tell me what you think . whee
Suggestions on how to improve it are greatly welcomed and appreciated. I'll post the birds I've seen/heard today after you tell me what you think. 3nodding
