And are you allowed to use both the front and back of it or only one side?

On my note sheet this year, the scioly wiki (link above) was my friend. I would put basic bird terminology, diagrams of birds (skeletal, feathers, etc), state birds (if you can fit them), and anything else that may be of use. Good luck!!!

i would also put general information and pictures w/labels about bird eggs/nests, because it came up last year at nats, and my partner and i were completely lost.

Do you mean eggs and nests for specific species?

what do you mean information about birds eggs and nests? I was not aware that they had specific parts. Can you please provide a link a picture with this information? Thanks

The rules say that each person may bring a cheat sheet. does this mean that you can have 2 copies of one sheet or two different pages??

Did they show you pictures of the eggs/nests or ask you to describe the eggs/nests?

It makes more sense for it to mean two different cheat sheets.
And I didn't go to nationals, but at our states (or regionals? don't remember) last year we were given pictures of several nests with eggs, and we had to write from which birds they were (I can't remember if it was matching or not).

Not the parts of nests, but identifying which egg or nest belongs to which bird based on a picture/actual one (though you may want to know the parts of the egg as well - stick a diagram of one on your cheat sheets or something).

huh...?? that's weird...cuz we didn't have to identify the diff types of bird eggs, but we DID have to label like different parts of the egg, like the air sac and stuff...and me and my partner were soooo unprepared and we got confused....but, there is a chance, cuz identifying what bird's egg that is is probably lots harder than naming the parts and you ARE in division C...

Yeah, we had to do both...

Does anyone have a guidelines on distinctive nests, because they aren't many "unique" nests. I know the ovenbird, swallows and swifts, but really, how can you tell eagle's nests from hawk's nests?

Can someone provide a link to a picture or website with a bird egg or nest labeled?
I have looked around and cannot find one.
Thanks

this is a good overview, but you have to consult the list to see what egg each one is on this website:
