Get started birding from where you are — what you're likely to see, how to tell confusing species apart, and a simple life-list to track sightings. Use when asked to start birdwatching, what bird did I see, help me identify a bird, or set up a birding log. Produces a likely-species list for your area and season, ID prompts (the field marks and sounds that separate look-alikes), a beginner gear-and-timing note, and a lightweight life-list format — pointing you to a live ID app to confirm any specific sighting.
🗣 Say this to your agent
“I want to start birdwatching in my backyard — what will I see?”“Small brown bird with a red head at my feeder — what is it?”“How do I tell a crow from a raven?”“Set me up a birding life-list.”“Best time and gear to start birding near the coast?”
What to give it
▸Location & habitat — region, and backyard/park/coast/woodland
▸Season — time of year (drives migrants vs residents)
▸What you saw — for an ID: size, colors, bill shape, behavior, sound, where
▸Gear — naked eye, binoculars, camera, or just a phone
▸Goal — casual backyard watching or building a life-list
✅ The bar it holds itself to
Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.
✓Species suggested fit the location, habitat, and season
✓ID guidance uses field marks/behavior/sound, not just color
✓Confusing look-alikes are separated by a specific feature
✓Gear advice is beginner-realistic (phone is fine)
✓Provides a simple life-list format and points to a live ID app
⚠️ What it refuses to do
**Suggesting rarities** a beginner won't see instead of common locals.
**Color-only IDs** that ignore size, bill, and behavior.
**Asserting a confident species ID** from a vague description — offer the likely options and a confirm step.
**Gatekeeping gear** — implying you need expensive binoculars to start.
**Ignoring season/migration** when suggesting species.
