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

Adjust number of equals signs to taste, and you are ready.
The preview button is a very big help.

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... :oops:

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

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...
