Bird watching can be lots of fun, but takes patience and skill. The more you know about bird behaviors, the easier it will be to learn to identify them. Look for the behaviors listed below. If you can, identify the birds you see. If not, make general notes about the birds’ appearance (color of feathers, shape of beak, shape of wings and tail). You may be able to identify them later with the help of a Field Guide.
