A question today by a beginning birder asking for future ID tips prompted me to collect links to some of the threads already existing on the site -- makes 'em easier to find.

Crystal, you're welcome! Glad you find it useful.

Jessica (at Birder's World) is the one who has the ability to make topics sticky -- she's the one who kindly made the various help topics on these forums sticky. One has to be the admin on a forum to have permission to do that.

Just edited the first post to add a new link to a post full of annotated online field guide links. The post itself is in the Bird ID forum and Jessica just did us all a favor and made it sticky! [:D]
