When observing water birds, body shape and length, and body color are the most intuitive and also a great basis for identification. The shape, length, and color of water birds’ beaks are also relatively obvious. Observing their behavior and the habitat of their activity areas can also help identify their categories.
Size: The size of a bird can be compared to the smallest hummingbird, the largest ostrich, and the magpie, egret, etc. to observe its size.
Appearance: Slender egrets, mohawk Chinese mergansers, plump spoon-billed sandpipers… each animal has its own unique outward beauty.
Feather Color: Birds have primary and secondary colors. The color of the wings and the color of the head are also different. The color of the beak and the color of the legs are also different, and the color of the tail is also different…
Flight Posture: Ducks flying low, geese flying high, dancing egrets, their wing vibration frequencies are different, their wing flapping angles are different, and their flight postures are also different.
