If you want to test your skills at counting birds, we highly recommend this little program created by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service: https://www.fws.gov/waterfowlsurveys/forms/countingtest.jsp?menu=counting.test. It is designed for birds on the water but it also applies to nesting birds or birds in flight.
