Wrenly: Bird Identifier
Field notes
- The one field mark that clinches an ID What did you actually see before it left the fence
- Reading wing bars when nothing else helps When two birds share a branch and only the shoulder gives them away
- What the tail tells you Cocked, forked, notched, edged in white
- Sparrow or finch, at the feeder Three tests that work, once you know where to look
- House wren or Carolina wren Two brown birds on the woodpile, and how to tell them apart
- Downy or hairy woodpecker The same bird in two sizes, almost. Here's the tell.
- Cooper's or sharp-shinned at the feeder Head, tail, and the two seconds you get
- Songs you already know without knowing Four voices from the yard, named once and kept
- The dawn chorus, layered How to hear one bird at a time when everything is singing
- Chip notes and scolds Most of what birds say isn't singing
- A seed mix that earns its keep Half the bag on the ground is telling you something
- Water matters more than food The warbler that won't touch seed will land at a puddle
- The brush pile no one builds Cover is food's quiet partner, and most yards forget it
- Native plants that feed year-round The coneflower you left standing is already working
- Who arrives in March The conk-a-ree, then everything else
- The summer lull at the feeder Nesting, molting, insects. The yard is doing its work.
- Fall migration at your window The confusing yellow ones, and how to enjoy them anyway
- Winter flocks and who leads them An hour of nothing, then six species at once
