How to spot an Airbus?

What are the main visual differences between Boeings and Airbuses, specifically 737s/757s and A320s? My drive to/from work goes right by the airport, so I'm always looking up at the planes taking off and landing. (I'm sure my fellow drives appreciate that!)

From what I can tell, the Airbuses have slightly smaller tails (?), but probably have other small nuances that could be spotted.

Not many flights in these parts are Airbuses, anyway, just some HPs and maybe a rare US.

It sure is a kick when the BA 747 passes just 100 or 150 feet above you, though!
