    I love this entire series, Inside Birding... I am a gardener & I use the same tools to ID trees- the big picture first, size & shape, habitat, and lastly, the details of the plant itself (bud scars, leaves, flowers)... I've watched each of the series twice so far; they are good to keep watching to absorb all the information.

    OH MY GOSH!!! HOW INFORMATIVE!!! I just started birding -- this is a truly great instructional video, especially for newcomers like myself. Congratulations -- you REALLY made a video that folks like me (and experienced birders, too) can really learn a lot from. You have an instant subscription (I subscribed and wrote this before the video was even done -- I just couldn't wait to tell you how much I liked this!)

    I actually found the American Redstart and Blackburnian quite difficult to differentiate when I started out. In addition, I find the American Redstart's vocalizations to be quite inconspicuous and erratically variable. Good bird none the less. Bird on.

    I am in South Africa. While we cont have Cardinals and Blue Jays, the principals apply. We have over 900 birds here ad trying to Identify them with out structure like this is almost impossible. Newman in his book, Newman’s Birds of Southern Africa uses, SIZE, BILL, LEGS, PLUMAGE, HABITAT, HABITS. These are universal tools. One commentator said they use these principals for identifying trees.
