Welcome to

NatureInstruct

An interactive website to help students, volunteers and professionals improve their skills at identifying wildlife by sight or by sound, particularly so that they can participate in nature survey and monitoring programs.

This site consists of a series of individual modules developed to help users learn to identify particular groups of animals or plants through browsing photos, reading descriptions, and/or listening to sounds, and then quizzing themselves on the results.

The following modules are currently available:

Dendroica: An aid to identifying Western Hemisphere birds

Piranga: A bird-bander's aid to identifying, ageing and sexing birds of the Western hemisphere
