Yes, you just have to make the section heading, which is not hard (copy the format from the Ornithology page).

Does anyone have any good tips on how to tell the Common Pauraque, Chuck-will's-widow, and the Whip-poor-will apart from one another? I always get them confused...

[paleonaps]

Not really, but color and sizes are different. However, chances are you'll have them as a call, not a picture.

Thanks!

BTW, I was wondering if female or juvenile bird photos are used on tests.

there are a lot of baby birds that are unique and there are a lot of birds that the male/female have idenical coloration so the chances are high that if they use them they will be easy ones...

Question to all you birdies: my fossils partner is doing orni (huge conflict however in NY) and was wondering why the lark bunting was put under the emberzids when really it should really be put under carinals, saltators, and allies? it's driving her nuts....
