THE PRACTICE OF IDENTIFICATION BY JIZZ (Impression)


Although many people have expressed, some with true enthusiasm, the advantages of the method of identification birds by impression that represents for their work, such as scientific projects, natural spaces management, consulting, teaching, dissemination or hobby, another group of people has expressed doubts, or has requested more information, regarding some link in the chain of reasoning or about its application in some specific cases.
Some questions that the observer asks about the conscious and regulated learning of the ID by jizz

How does the method to identify birds by jizz work? Why identify birds by jizz ?, How does it benefit me according to my profession and experience? What do I get? Does it require a lot of preparation? Does it take a lot of effort? It takes a lot of time? Does it require a lot of prior knowledge? I need a teacher? Can I do it self-taught? Can I apply it to all kinds of birds? Can I apply the method to other animals? Can I apply that method to my profession? What benefits do I have? What problems do I solve? I'm old enough? What is the ideal age? Is it better to learn alone or in the company of students and teachers? I already identify by impression because I have a lot of experience, can the method also serve to me? There are applications that already identify birds, what do I have to learn to identify by impression? I will try to respond in the most objective and realistic way possible to each of them.


How does the method to identify birds by jizz work in practice?

Perhaps it is the question that raises the most need for information. This is the simplest and most practical way to proceed: In the field, once the bird is observed, evaluate in writing the 10 variables of the main card. Write each sentence as briefly and as accurately as possible. In cabinet, synthesize the sentences of the same trait variables (structure, habitat, behavior and plumage) into a single integrated sentence. Try to identify the species with a bird guide. Both operations, evaluation and synthesis, generate impressions of the bird that has observed. If you repeat the operation, for a time, with birds of the same species, the number of impressions of individuals of the same species will generate an integrated impression of the species. At this time, when you return to observe and operate an new individual of a given species, the subconscious memory will act quickly and an instantaneous identification will occur.

Basically, that's it. Go out into the field, observe a bird from which you evaluate 10 variables, write down the sentences in the variables on a tab of your mobile phone, and back at home synthesize the sentences of the variables of a trait in a single sentence. This will have generated impressions of an individual of a species. If you repeat this operation a sufficient number of times, you will achieve the formation of integrated impressions from each species observed and identify them reliably, quickly and even in poor sighting conditions.

Why identify birds by jizz ?

It is the second question more asked. Let's see. Identifying by jizz, ...increase your efficiency and reliability in your bird IDs (and many species of non-avian fauna). The operation of images observed in the field, generate impressions in the subconscious memory, much more stable and faster than the cortical memory, which is what the brain uses after a classical scientific analysis. In this way, jizz improves the efficiency, speed of ID, reliability, representativeness and universality to the ID via plumage. And this is true at the species level and is crucial for the ID of very similar species and the ages and sexes of highly variable plumage species.

Jizz allows you create a holistic view of the bird immersed in its environment. Jizz is universal and can be applied to any bird of any habitat. To provide the basic information of the necessary place, a local bird guide is enough. The ID by jizz is representative, that is, the result of the jizz survey of the avian population of a habitat, is representative of the species found in the environment. ID by jizz is faster and more reliable because the memory involved in the process, the subconscious, is very stable and fast (see before). Jizz is more efficient because birds can be identified even in poor sighting conditions.

Conclusion
When you are an expert identifying birds, after long years of identifying by plumage, you will actually be identifying by jizz (see previous article "Birding by impression unconscious vs conscious"). Why not save that tremendous amount of time, become an expert in bird identification via jizz in a reasonable time, and dedicate the time saved to get good data of birds at a glance?

8 practical learning tips for birding by impression (jizz)

Imagen
Some practical keys of the book "Learning how to identify birds by impression". 1. The active participation of the observer is required:  The observer must be involved. The observer must learn to operate variables and stages, to write evaluative sentences, to practice the field and cabinet exercises and to acquire basic information. Although an intense participation of the observer in the learning period is required, the prize is great both in the saving of the long time it takes to acquire the status of expert identifier and in having a holistic view of the birds. If you insist you can acquire the identification by jizz in a few months, which will allow you to take good field data and improve its efficiency in a short time, compared to the classic way of prioritizing plumage. 2. Are the field exercises during the learning phase done after learning to operate each variable or at the end of each stage?:  A stage groups variables of the same nature. It is preferable...

¿Porqué callan los pájaros?

En primavera las aves cantan durante todo el día. No hace falta más que salir a la calle o al campo para percibir la algarabía de mil cantos simultáneos. Los cambios bruscos de tiempo o, si hace mucho calor, las horas centrales del día, hacen que las aves se aplatanen o incluso, se callen. Siempre quedan por ahí héroes inquebrantables como el pinzón o el ruiseñor, cuyo canto es posible escucharlo hasta en las peores condiciones meteorológicas. Pero pongámonos en un día normal de primavera. Las aves han estado cantando durante todo el santo día y, de repente, en un lapso muy breve, se callan a la vez, todos los individuos de todas las especies, sexos y edades. Chitón. Silencio. Eso sucede primero en los ambientes de umbría y, a continuación, en los ambientes de solana cuando se retiran completamente los rayos del sol. Es un fenómeno brusco y algo inquietante. Pero los bichos van como un reloj.
