More about Birds
It is helpfull to memorise the names for the various parts of a bird. A beginner may find it hard to remember all these technical terms, but if you want a more experienced bird-watcher to identify a bird from your discription, it makes it much easier if you can tell him or her you saw a white spot on the scapulars instead of just on the wing. So, once these are memorised, you can make more meaningful notes on what you have seen.
