SEARCH WHEN YOU KNOW A FIELD MARK

Search when you know a Field Mark
The best way to find a bird using the Percevia search engine is when you have noticed a few of the birds field marks. Field marks are attributes of the bird like color, shape, pattern and so on.

There are two steps required when searching with field marks:

You pick a field mark.
You select a value for it.
Repeat Until Bird is Found.

Lets also say all we noticed is that this bird had a kind of crested crown, like a spiked hairdo, and that the color of this crown was very dark, maybe black.

Okay now lets see how easy it is to find that bird. Click the > button to go to the next lesson.
