Bird identification is the process of recognizing and naming different species of birds based on their physical characteristics, behaviors, and sounds. Birdwatchers often use field guides or mobile apps to help them identify birds by their size, color, and markings. Observing a bird's habitat and flight patterns can also provide clues about its identity. To become skilled at bird identification, enthusiasts can practice by watching birds in their local parks or backyards. Joining a community of birdwatchers or participating in events like the Great Backyard Bird Count can enhance the experience. With patience and practice, anyone can learn to identify the beautiful variety of birds around them.
