vip-kenn-kaufman
What does it take to develop more skill at bird ID, and to be able to recognize more of the birds that we find? Well, for starters, it's not simply a matter of learning field marks. Often we can memorize all the field marks for a species and still have trouble identifying it, while in other cases we may recognize a bird without seeing any traditional field marks at all. In this program, based on a section from his Kaufman Field Guide to Advanced Birding, Kenn will talk about some basic principles that apply to all birds - principles that make it possible to name birds with more accuracy and confidence. He'll also discuss some surprising pitfalls of ID, and how to avoid being tripped up by them.
