Inside Birding - Take Your Birding to the Next Level with “Inside Birding”
As millions of birds return from the tropics, filling the Northern Hemisphere with summer’s full array of birds, it’s a great time for bird watching. In a new, free series of web videos called “Inside Birding” Chris Wood and Jessie Barry, from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, share tips, tools, and techniques for identifying birds with confidence--whether you’re new to birding or seeking to hone your skills. In the first four episodes, learn the secrets of the “four keys” to bird identification: size and shape, color pattern, behavior, and habitat.
