anatomy, what to look for on a bird (varies with taxonomic group), and how

Dennis - this is what I *really* need! Perhaps we could convince SAS to put
on a class of this type? Or perhaps someone could be roped into volunteering
for this. (Nab them at the picnic!) I sure would like to have this kind of
knowledge. It's one of the reasons I don't post my unknowns - I'm not sure
what I should be noting for others.
