The window will display the bird you have selected – it appears in the upper left corner. Five additional birds will also be displayed. These are the birds that are most often confused with the bird you selected. Although the adult male image will usually be displayed here, it may be the female of one of these other species that is similar to your bird.

Click zoom under each photo to see a larger image of the bird. Click Field Guide to jump to the Field Guide view of the new species. Click sound to hear what each bird sounds like.

This view of similar birds can be very helpful if you are not sure which bird you saw. Be sure to check the range map of the other five birds. Some birds may not appear in your area of the country and you can eliminate them as likely candidates.

You may also want to compare your bird with one of the other five birds using the compare button. This lets you look at two different birds side-by-side at the same time.

You can use the ID Wizard feature if you are really not sure of your identification.
