Here are some good sites, with reputable qualifications...

- Cornell Lab of Ornithology
- You can search by name, or you can browse by Name and Shape or Taxonomy
Back in 1993, when teaching students how to do research, most would go to the Encyclopedia CD that their PC manufacturer gave them. Some would print an entire file on, say, Blue Jays, and hand it in.
You just have to laugh.
They couldn't read the words, as they did a 5-minute presentation of their work.
I love bird watching. Winter has its own limitations.
Here are some of my (mostly) winter birds. I was looking for some colour as it starts to snow last Saturday as I prepared this post.

Your "assignment" took me back to the mid 70's - before PC's - when I would assign a research paper. One student copied, word for word, from the biology text. As if I didn't know each and every word therein!
Great post! Love the pictures. You had me fooled here . I was expecting to hear about your Christmas bird count.
Your blog is just wonderful. I'm amazed at the work and dedication you put in to it. Thank you! Happy Holidays.
Jenn -- that post title had me wondering for a minute! Beautiful bird photos -- obviously your Winter hunting" is very successful.
Merry Christmas to all of you!!
