@Chrissy This 4-part video series is super helpful to get the basic concepts down (not flipping through a bird ID book/app randomly). You can narrow the bird based on size and shape, color pattern, behavior, and habitat. It’s a great start, videos based in the US but concepts can be applied anywhere. https://academy.allaboutbirds.org/inside-birding-size-shape/

@Chrissy I’m mid-40s woman, love backpacking and being a nerd about packing logistics. I haven’t posted much about it because I spent last year recovering from a backpacking injury turned surgery. But been easing back into things since January. Sounds like some exciting trips coming up for you!
