Species Identification

Accurate species identification is best accomplished with the help of an expert - someone who has spent weeks, months, and years in the field. Try to schedule a workshop before you get started NatureMapping.

Amateurs can readily access good sources of information at the Digital Atlas of Idaho 2000 web site (http://imnh.isu.edu/digitalatlas). The Atlas is also available on CD-ROM. Go to the Atlas Web Site and visit the Biology Section to access detailed information about Idaho's animals.

You can also try using one of many field guides.

Species codes are found on this web site by using the links at left.

If you do not have access to the species coding system, we will also accept the species common name and scientific name. However, species codes are helpful!
