Last week I wrote about my first experience with a new site that a friend thought looked promising when he saw it on Google Maps. This experience of finding an entirely new, but very birdy, site is nothing unusual for me. So I had to learn to locate my own sites, a process which still continues today. My friend was right.

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.
