The dots mean that there are multiple images in that one place. If you were to click on the right side of the image, where an arrow should appear, it will cycle to the next image. The number of dots under an image is the number of images in that gallery.

If you are using phone, then the navigation bar will appear after you press the three horizontal lines in the top left.

If you are on tablet or computer, then the navigation bar should appear at the top of your screen.

If you are wondering how to find the bird you are looking for on the "Guide" tab, then this should help:

The birds types are listed at the top of the page, and if you scroll down, the will appear in that order. The bird classes are also links to further down the page.

For the more obscure bird classifications such as Icterids, Corvids, Thrashers, Thrushes, and Creepers:

• Icterids are birds such as Grackles and Orioles, and are robin sized usually with a pointy bill.

• Corvids are birds such as crows and jays and are medium (Blue Jay) to large (Northern Raven) in size.

• Thrashers are birds like Mockingbirds and Catbirds that are about robin sized, and have curved bills.

• Thrushes include robins, and most of the ones we can see look just like robins, but with different coloration, typically with a brown, tan, or rufous back, wings, tail and cap with white a belly, usually speckled with brown.

• Creepers are similar to small woodpeckers, yet they resemble Wrens and/or Nuthatches. 

Our contents has to do specifically with what we observe when we are out birding. We go birding often, so the guide will be updated at least weekly. There may be a dramatic decrease in how often it is updated by the end of summer (a.k.a start of school year) but we still should be able to get outdoors and continue our research weekly. 

Despite popular belief, this is not a school project! We do this out of our own will and our interest in birds! we also want to make people aware of how quickly our planet is dying and how easily we can make a big difference. 

As mentioned before, we collect all of this information ourselves. Whatever we gather in the field, we put in the guide. So if there is more information on some birds, and less on others, that would be why.

You can contact us at birdersguideswarlingtonva@gmail.com and we can help you with identifications, listen to your ideas and suggestions, fix the mistakes you have noticed, or simply just say hi.
