Cornell Lab recently made available a free learning session that may interest you. Their email states:
From diving ducks to flightless ostriches to zippy hummingbirds, all birds have some basic anatomical features in common. If you’re curious about all the nerdy-birdy details of how birds move, forage, and fly, learning bird anatomy can be a real leg-up! Train your anatomy knowledge with the free All About Bird Anatomy learning tool. Click through the interactive image to learn all the parts and pieces of birds, then turn on flashcard mode to quiz yourself. You’ll be a bird anatomy pro in no time!
I learned a lot using the tool but the quiz showed I need to go through it again as my retention was less than perfect. A hint: the course is much easier to follow using a computer than an iPhone as the diagrams are small on the iPhone. My favorite “chapter” was “Feathers”. What will yours be?
Enjoy…. We can always learn something more!
