Bird Silhouettes
One of the first clues to bird identification is size. The bird silhouettes provide a quick life-sized
reference for some common birds with identifiable physical characteristics. Recognizing a crown, a forked
tail or posture of correctly-sized bird helps to create confidence by building the correct search image.

Mammal Silhouettes
The mammal silhouettes provide a quick life-sized reference based on identifiable physical characteristics such
as thickness and length of the body and/or tail, and the shape of a head. When placed or displayed in a location that mimics the
behavior of the mammal, you are creating the correct search image. For example, with similar sized mammals, you are likely
to find a marmot on the ground and a gray squirrel up in a tree.
