Habitat Matcher

Habitat is the fastest way to improve what you notice in Maryland. Before you try to identify every bird, frog, or track, first ask what kind of place you are standing in. The answer narrows everything else.

This matcher uses broad clues — water, canopy, openness, and exposure — to point you toward the most likely habitat page in the guide. It is not trying to replace patient observation. It is trying to give your observation a better starting frame.
