Abstract:
A handheld bird identification tool is provided that assists users in identifying birds based on field observations. A user desiring assistance in classifying a bird uses interactive on-screen options to create a set of bird identification filter attributes. An interactive graphical view of a bird may be used to assign appearance characteristics such as color, pattern, and shape attributes to selected anatomical regions. The appearance characteristics and other filter attributes may be used as query terms in searching a bird identification database. A user may review audio clips of bird songs and images of birds matching the filter attributes. The bird identification tool may be used to manage a user's life list. Images, audio clips, and field notes may be gathered using the bird identification tool.
