How good are you in identifying birds, flowers and plants?

I’m bad at knowing which bird is what, and what plant or flower is that. I mean, I can tell you a cardinal is a cardinal, and a rose a rose, but not much more than that. My stepmom is great at identifying birds and plants. Some of you, and you know who you are, are awesome at it! Here is another up close from my sister and brother-in-law’s bird feeder camera (came with a birdhouse).

Wow, a feeder camera! That's amazing! I'm sort of obsessed with identifying birds, I don't get to see many species but when I spot an unknown one I run to do some research. This should be an average female sparrow although the perspective makes her look huge.

They’ve been getting some good shots of mischievous squirrels too.

@AmbiePam All my feeder now are squirrel proof. Too bad they don’t keep out chipmunks and bears.

I'm not too bad but I'd like to be able to identify birds by their song. I could probably learn bird sounds listening to YouTube clips maybe.

Probably average or slightly above..I do have bird identification books, and one for trees around here somewhere. Flowers...some I know and some I don't.

I think that it reminds me of a little sparrow bird.

That’s what a few others have said. Not striking like a Cardinal, but a modest little sweetie.

I know a few but if they're not desert related I'm mostly at a loss.

I can identify a good number of birds and flower. Sabrina is correct, this one is an average female sparrow.

She says she’s not average once you get to know her.

@LadyDuck Yes, I just like to imagine them with little personalities. She looks boring, but you should hear her chirp!

What an awesome idea! That looks like a sparrow to me. I depend on my younger son to name the birds that visit my feeders. Common flowers I know. Going to plant more than 30 feet of them when I get home.

Well, that looks like a sparrow to me! I can identify some, but not that many. I CAN tell the difference between Indian Paintbrush and Indian Warrior, two wildflowers we have here.

I'm not great at it. I enjoy hiking and some people really know all the birds and plants.
