    Advice for someone who has a hard time ID’ing birds ...

    Wow. The last two posts are really interesting. I just realized that I might have a mild form of prosopagnosia myself. In any case, my husband is considerably better at recognizing human faces than I am. One of my frustrations with movies is that I have a hard time recognizing characters when...

    Advice for someone who has a hard time ID’ing birds ...

    Thanks. I started this thread partly to help my husband, who expressed frustration last night and partly due to my own frustration.

    Advice for someone who has a hard time ID’ing birds ...

    Actually, in many ways he is more into birding than I am. If he had his way, that is all he would do, while I need a break sometimes. He has discussed doing a US big year and I would never, ever want to do something like that. (I think I have successfully talked him out of it.) He is also more...

    Advice for someone who has a hard time ID’ing birds ...

    My husband and I have been birding seriously for almost 10 years now. By seriously, I mean: travel, sometimes to foreign countries, specifically for birding; maintaining and caring about various lists; birding every day — my husband, if not me, has birdied every single day for the last 3 years...
