Cool Backyard Flora & Fauna ID Resources

Fauna

Birds

Birdwatcher's Digest: They offer a list sectioned by type. As you mouseover the different birds, a thumbnail image of that bird shows up to the left.

Whatbird.com
: This page has an extensive list of birds commonly found in MA with an image of the bird as well. This was how I found this bird.

Critters

AA Animal Control.com: Wow, unless I'm off in my selection of keywords (wild animal guide massachusetts), there's nothing on backyard critters that is as fun to use as the bird guides listed above. This is packed with useful information though.


Flora

There are
some good iPhone apps, such as Landscaper for identifying plants by site.

I found this Flickr Group that has a tagging method to search their image database.

This blog also has a good list of book resources too.
