For beginners, a bird book arranged by color of bird may be the easiest way to get started. However, these types of books typically only list common species. You may find your interpretation of a bird's color differs from the book's editor! Intermediate guides are usually arranged by shapes of birds, for example 'duck-like birds' or 'perching birds.' These types of guides may show either photographs of birds or illustrations. Illustrations were used in the earliest bird guides and their use continues to the present day. Illustrations may highlight features of a bird that are difficult to capture in a photograph. Photographs are often a more precise representation of color.
