What a great idea! I’ve kept a list of birds I’ve seen throughout the years, but never thought of keeping a journal. Sounds like fun… And I love new journals.

Thank you for this great information and great ideas for keeping a journal. My husband and I watch the comings and goings of all types of birds in our own backyard. We have seen Robins, Cardinals, Nuthatches, Orioles, Redwing Blackbirds, Bluejays, Morning Doves,Sparrows, Chickadees, Finches, Hummingbirds,Brown Thrashers, Woodpeckers of all varieties including a pair of Pileated woodpeckers, Hawks, Crows, Grackles, Starlings,Geese,Turkeys a Cow bird,and right now we have over a hundred little Juncoes in our backyard. We have also had a flock of about 50 ducks fly into our backyard. I know it’s hard to believe but it truly is a bird sanctuary in our backyard. Keeping a diary of when they come and go would be very interesting.

I would love to do this, I guess I already have been watching birds for the past 3 to 4yrs. I had a cardinal that started knocking at my window spring 2010, I’ve been watching, taking pictures and video for the past 3 to 4yrs. We have about 10 different birds feeding at our feeder. At first they fought, now they all share. We could all learn from this.
