Birds of Feather/Ornithology

[Flavorflav]

It's really going to depend on the writer. There are some really easy ones, but most of them could be easy or ridiculously hard. Many songbirds have more than one song - sometimes as many as ten, and some of them sound a lot like the most common songs of another species. Basically all of the non-passerines should be easy, but the passerines are (IMO) potentially much, much harder than the frogs.

does anyone think it's gonna be hard to study bird calls?

Not really. There are a lot with distinct sounds [loons, grebes, mergansers, etc... (sorry, i cant spell)]. I think they'll be A LOT easier than frog calls.

To study bird calls I went to borders + bought a bird book w/ bird calls + started to listen to them.
Also, you can always go birdwatching around your neighborhood.

i think if i really wanted to get into the hang of studying, I'll record some songs, and put them onto my ipod. yes!

The second image didn't work.

That didn't work either. Let's try this one:

[croman74]

Ok, that one worked. To me it looks like their tails are a little different.

[robotman]

yea and their feet are a bit differant

It might just be the picture, but the feathers of the mexican crow are smoother.
