GISS—general impression, size, shape—is intuitive, the result of an unconscious cognitive process derived from experience in the field. It is a lot easier to describe physical things, which is what field guides do, then to describe a cognitive process, which is what bird identification is. It still sounds like intuition to me.

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. It is process that can be as simple or as complex as you wish, and I think this is where Birding for the Curious is unique.
