Thank You! Also do you need to have notes on subspecies? Wikipedia has information on them so I'm not sure if I should include them in my notes.

Probably. On the rules it says "...migration, distribution, ..." which can vary based on different subspecies. But I would just do the subspecies that inhabit North America instead of other parts of the world.

For example, for the crested caracara, I would just put info for the northern crested caracara(which lives in Texas and Central America) instead of the southern crested caracara(which lives in South America)

So did anyone figure out the thing about screech owl? Are we just studying Megascops in general?

I have notes written on the origins of the birds common name and/or it's previous names/nicknames, but i chose not to right anything about the origins on its scientific name.... Is there questions being asked about that sorta thing or...?

In my personal opinion, origin of common and scientific names is way way too specific

I've seen it before on fossils tests so ornith should be the same.

what kinds of things would qualify as a field guide? Would natgeo Complete Birds of North America count?

All the rules say that would qualify as a field guide is a commercially produced field guide. And yes. It's a commercially produced field guide so it should count.
