Hey can anyone tell me a good website that contains some quizzes/tests made so that you don't gave to sort them out from the ones on the list?
the one on thw Wiki has no key...

Umm... yea I know that...
Which is why, again, I am requesting that somebody better at this event than me makes a key...

[duckiegirl2]

Agreed. Has anyone found a better method to make notes for each bird than just finding the bird and writing stuff down?

umm...flashcards? or is that the same thing as taking notes...?

I mean a better way to find specific info about each bird, not the recording part. Thanks though!

i don't know what else to put on my 1 page sheet! i have descriptions of beaks, feet types and the Bird Ecology, State of the Bird, and challenges to bird population, all from the Training Handout on the SO website. any suggestions for what else to put on? i have lots of room left
PS I am using the Peterson's Field Guide, if that helps ur suggestions at all

is anyone here using the smithsonian field guide? it IS allowed right? cuz i havent heard anyone talking about it and im getting worried.

[googlyfrog]

Why wouldn't it be allowed?

[sciolygrl258]

Its allowed. You can use any field guide you want. Most people use the Peterson because it has all the birds.

[junexia]

yeah but i also heard it doesnt have very much info. oh well. i shouldve chosen more carefully. lesson well learned, even if it's a bit late.

[sciolygrl258]

yeah it doesnt does the smithsonian have alot information?

[sewforlife]

im wondering if it would be a good idea to write the descriptions of some of the more obscure bird calls?

You could try to draw a bird skeleton and label the bones.

Yea that might be a good thing to put on your notes too, but the Peterson already has that.
