It can be a thrill to see a speciesfor the first time <strong>and</strong> add it to your life list. Many people keepjournals <strong>and</strong> add information to each entry, such as the date,location <strong>and</strong> with whom they were birding.Life lists reflect bird species you have seen <strong>and</strong>where you have seen them. They are a terrificway to record memories. Seeing a new speciesmay remind us of a special trip, a wonderfulhiking experience, the back yard of a formerhome, or a fun time with a bird-watching friend.Many beginning <strong>and</strong> advanced bird watchers enjoy keepingthe list will grow.many types of lists, such as a yearly list, a state list forbirds seen in <strong>Arkansas</strong> <strong>and</strong> individual lists for eachbirding adventure.A great way to start is with a yard list,adding every species of bird that visits yourproperty. You will be amazed at how longThis list reflects bird species found in <strong>Arkansas</strong> <strong>and</strong> is a greatway to begin keeping track of the birds you spot. As youbecome more familiar with bird identification, you may wantto create a separate, all-inclusive life list <strong>and</strong> transfer yoursightings from this list to it.semipalma ted s<strong>and</strong>piper
GET A BIRD BRAIN: LEARN TO IDENTIFY BIRDSWHISTLING-DUCKS, PAGE CONTENTS HERE, DUCKS, PAGE GEESE CONTENTS AND SWANS HERE6 7Get a bird brainL e a r n t o i d e n t i f y b i r d sAgreat approach is to learn birds by groups or families.Many birds in the same group share characteristics, suchas body or bill shape. Learning the groups makes it easier tofind birds in your field guide.Also ask yourself the following questions as you focus on theindividual:How big is it? Relate the size to birds you know, such as achickadee, robin, crow or turkey.Black-bellied Whistling-Duck Dendrocygna autumnalisDateLocationNotesFulvous Whistling-Duck Dendrocygna bicolorDateLocationNotesGreater White-fronted Goose Anser albifronsDateLocationNotesSnow Goose Chen caerulescensDateLocationNotesWhistling-Ducks, Ducks,Geese <strong>and</strong>Swanspurple gallinuleHow is the bird colored? Many field guides include drawingswith distinguishing field marks, patterns <strong>and</strong> colors.What are its shape <strong>and</strong> posture? Sometimes, all you can see isa bird’s silhouette, but this can help identify its family.What is the bird’s behavior? Is the bird swimming or wading,climbing up <strong>and</strong> down a tree trunk or wagging its tail? Does itfly straight through the air, flap its wings then glide or soar?Which habitat is the bird using? Is the bird in openhabitat, thick woods or on the water? Pay attention to yoursurroundings, <strong>and</strong> you will learn which species frequent certainhabitats.What does the bird sound like? Some birds, such as owls, areoften heard but rarely seen. Songs also can help you find thebird through your binoculars.Ross’s Goose Chen rossiiDateLocationNotesBrant Branta berniclaDateLocationNotesCackling Goose Branta hutchinsiiDateLocationNotesCanada Goose Branta canadensisDateLocationNotesMute Swan Cygnus olorDateLocationNotes
