Important “gear” includes field guides and apps on mobile devices. Field guides help identify birds by details about the individual species with pictures, descriptions, and behaviors. A good field guide can help you learn the bird basics and species in your area. Apps complement field guides, play bird sounds, and are easily accessible when birding.   

 

Field Guides

Field guides follow a standard layout. A typical page will have the right side showing illustrations or photographs of birds with important field marks; the left side has species name and description with details like size, behavior, range, and habitat. It’s important to spend some time reading the upfront pages to understand the author’s use of shorthand and jargon. This will help make the book more useful. Typical layout of a field guide, which usually includes:

 

  • Common name

  • Scientific name

  • Picture(s) of the bird species

  • Description with species information

  • Range map for where the species is found and by season

?

TOP FIELD GUIDES

Some field guides are better suited to beginners. They show the field marks that are most obvious, whereas the advanced guides with include the subtle field marks, and may be superfluous. Experienced birders may prefer Sibley Guides, for example. Most beginners are best paired with one of these guides:

 

  • Peterson Field Guide to Birds of North America

  • Kaufman Field Guide to Birds of North America

  • National Geographic Field Guide of North America (more general)

 

At home, keep your field guide in easy sight, on a coffee table or flat on a shelf. This will lure you to open to examining a few bird species or to get your next walk planned.

 

Digital Guides, Apps and more

 

Other essential gear items are digital field guides and apps for use on smartphones or other devices. Digital guides and apps have the advantage of being portable, and not an accessory if you bring your phone in the field. Most include features that leverage technology to go beyond the contents of the paper versions. For example, they can play bird songs to help with identification. The main disadvantage is the ability to see images and text clearly, particularly if bright light.

KEEPING A BIRD LIST

It may seem odd to think of a bird list as part of the “gear” you need. The practice of “listing” is part of the fun and anyone who enjoys birdwatching typically has a “life list” of the birds they have seen over time. Beginning birders will want to start out with a tool to track the birds they see so the sightings are lost forever.


A bird life list includes not just the species, but the date, location, and any notes about the siting. Like a personal journal, it will conjure up memories of the moment. Keeping a list helps you learn species better, preserves the experience, and keep you hooked.


Computer or digital lists are easily found online from different programs. They can be downloaded or reside on your device. You will want to try them out for ease of entry. eBird is a common tool to store your bird list and has many advantages. It connects with Merlin for easy bird identification and is a great way to help with citizen science.


Having a traditional paper journal still has advantages. It’s easy to take with you in the field, doesn’t need to be connected, and can record sketches. Many birders still prefer a traditional journal and use a computer list as a supplem

保存鸟类名单

把鸟类清单作为你所需要的“装备”的一部分,这似乎很奇怪。“列出”的做法是乐趣的一部分,任何喜欢观鸟的人通常都会有一份“生活清单”,列出他们在一段时间内见过的鸟类。初学鸟的人会想从一个工具开始追踪他们看到的鸟,这样就永远不会再看到了。


鸟类生活列表不仅包括物种,还包括日期、地点和任何有关选址的注释。就像个人日记一样,它会唤起人们对这一刻的回忆。列出一份清单有助于你更好地了解物种,保存经验,并让你着迷。


计算机或数字列表很容易从不同的程序中在线找到。它们可以下载或驻留在您的设备上。为了方便进入,您需要尝试它们。eBird是存储鸟类列表的常用工具,具有许多优点。它与Merlin连接,便于识别鸟类,是帮助公民科学的好方法。


拥有传统的纸质期刊仍然有优势。它很容易在现场随身携带,不需要连接,并且可以记录草图。许多观鸟者仍然喜欢传统的日志,并使用计算机列表作为补充
