Birds of Feather/Ornithology

[robotman]

they seem to have different coloration and eye color and different feet shapes

Gosh, I hope they always give us color pictures... Once at regionals for Amph & Rep, the procotor gave us black and white ones.

It'd be really hard to tell some of the birds apart if it weren't for coloration. (Of course, I know color isn't a very good thing to base most identifications off of because of lighting and constrast and color quality and all that, but it's a good place to start an identification...)

wouldnt it be a huge problem of u got black and white pictures for amphibians and reptiles. (Snake I.D)

[robotman]

no not really for reptile it is actually better to know the patterns rather than the colors when you are I.Ding something

no...i doubt it. i think id use audubon or peterson though...

Does anybody know if they are going to allow student prepared binders this year? I think I would like that more than the field guides with added notes.

For the millionth time: NOBODY has rules yet! Nobody but officials know what resources will be allowed for events next year!

[soobsession]

we know that...but you can kinda make guesses...
