    Might I recommend for all the beginners, get a Field Guide of Birds in your particular state/area. They are incredibly helpful, most of them list the birds not by name but by color so you can easily find a bird you don't recognize and a list in the back to check off birds as you see them.

  • @MrFoxxFrequency7WnWuhBYV3eCA

    I like your note about identifying a bird as a hummingbird by its flight. Paraphrased, basically you just need to be sober, ha. ha. I struggle with identifying the different hummingbird species when they are in flight, though. Its all a beautiful blur. Thank you for this amazing tutorial. I had no idea there were so many ways I could identify a bird

    As I am retired and spend much time at home, I’ve come to love my backyard bird pets ( all are free to fly away) and we have truly communicated. Southeastern New England and surrounded by leafy woods and open backyard.
    Many species with birdhouses and nests nearby. I love watching them do their thing.
    It is a great way to connect with nature, peace, and just maybe philosophical

    Last winter, a belted kingfisher stayed all winter by a lake near me, here in Pennsylvania, which I know is very unusual behavior. I thought they migrated before winter.

    • @TheGreatCourses
      @TheGreatCourses  Před 6 lety +7

      Hi Raji, you could try taking a photo of the bird and using Google Image search to find matching images, or there may be a birding group in your area who could help!
      There's even a number of bird identification sites online where you can put in characteristics and find out which one you've been watching.
      Good luck!

    Don't bother getting complete course. There is just too much info that is crammed into each section. Better off buying a book. The Lectures where he describes each variety of birds would have been more useful if the call's were included for each bird! Only a handful were included.
