As a special service to birders across the United States and Canada*, we are accepting requests for Bird Identification Help. Use this form below and try and include as much info as possible. We will try and get back to you via email within 24-36 hours, even if we are uncertain about the identification.

    *Please keep in mind that we are not trained ornithologists, only bird enthusiasts. Our knowledge is extensively on North American birds. But if you need bird identification help on birds found somewhere else in the world, we will gladly give it a go! If we don’t know the answer, we’ll try and find someone who does! We are exceptionally bad at gulls, but we’ll try our best!
