Hi! Welcome to my bird journal! This is my first summer going bird watching! I picked up a pocket guide with a checklist and my goal is to see as many as I can!

I will try my best to capture photos of them but as I do not have a good camera yet they might be low quality.

Here’s some tags I’ll be using for organization purposes:

For logs with photos #-BirdiePhotos-

For logs without photos #-BirdieLogs-

For just general posts like this one #-CorvidCaws-

I will not be documenting the area for privacy reasons, but I’ll try to include what time of day and the weather!

I hope this summer will be full of fun adventures!
