Howell and Sullivan have taken apart the identification process and turned it around, placing macro aspects first in importance (location, habitat, season), followed by situational factors (lighting, distance), behavior of the bird (what it is doing and how it sounds), and, finally, what the bird looks like (structure, plumage, variation).

Birding is discussed as a process that involves finding birds, viewing and hearing birds, taking notes and sketching birds, thinking about habitat and migration, and then, identifying birds.

Part of that research was to document human avoidance by ground mammals, and that was stark and apparent. Clearly, more research is needed!
