Backyard Birding Identification Guide
Whether you’re a beginning birder or a seasoned expert, figuring out who’s visiting your backyard isn’t always easy.
That's why we created a new visual guide-at-a-glance (with pictures!) that can help you correctly identify the most common backyard birds. Note: If a species looks significantly different between sexes, the male is shown on top, and the female on the bottom.
