Identification Basics Just as you know your friends by their voices or physical characteristics, the experienced birder knows a species of bird by a glimpse of its tail or the shape of its bill. These particular clues are called field marks. Other common field marks include size, shape, habitat, voice, and behavior. The best way to become familiar with field marks is to start watching the birds in your front yard or local park. Spend time observing the bird while it is in sight, then go to the field guide to identify it. Note as many field marks as time will allow. Once you have made note of the obvious field marks, you can easily refer to a field guide to identify the bird. A notebook for recording field marks and a pair of binoculars will help with identification. The Main Field Marks to Note Are: Size Try to get an idea of the size of the bird. A familiar bird such as the American robin or a set object nearby, can be helpful comparisons to judge the relative size. Shape What shape is the body, tail, bill and wings? Note relative size, width, length and thickness to name a few. For example, is the bill cone shaped or pointy, larger or smaller than a pencil tip?
