Fun log to keep for a lifetime!

Fascinating book with great pictures to identify the birds (in b/w) and then a place to record several sightings with either a simple checkmark or an entry that includes location and date and other interesting notes by the observer. As an avid bird watcher it seems to be just what I have been looking for and I can't wait to transfer some of my lists or unique sightings to safe-keeping in this journal.

Excellent

A Birding Journal bible! I love the fact that there is plenty of room to write about your bird sighting. I have even been able to write about two separate incidents in the space provided. My only wish would be that the pictures of the birds were in color.

Good Bird Note Book

As a black and white companion to the National Geographic bird book it is great. This note book gives you room to write and draw on the species of birds. One can use this book as a "life list" and record your sightings, locations, etc., into this. It is amazing to sit down with this book years later and review your past findings. This book goes along exactly with the bird book and I usually keep both with me at all times for recording and identifying.........

An excellent gift for any North American birdwatcher

Now available in an updated and expanded second edition, Mel Baughman's The Birder's Journal is a consumable volume for the personal use and notations of North American birdwatchers. Though it has very basic information on over 60 North American bird families, the bulk of this thick compendium consists of accurate, detailed black-and-white sketches of over 850 bird species, next to allotted writing space where the birdwatcher can make his or her own notes about when, how, and where that species of bird was successfully observed. The Birder's Journal is a perfect aid to keep track of the all the different feathered friends one has seen, and an excellent gift selection for any North American birdwatcher.

A excellent journal to record information on bird sightings.

The journal is a useful tool to record information on your bird sightings. The book is divided into 60 chapters by North American bird famalies. The chapter introduction includes a brief description of each bird family and where it can be located.Each of the 500 birds shown has a half page in the book with a black and white line drawing of the bird, the birds name, common name and a space for date and location of sighting. Another 6 or 7 lines of space is provided for each bird for recording notes on the sighting. The author encourages readers to use colored pencils to color the markings for each bird seen.The book is easy to use. The large 7" x 10" pages provide a lot of room to record your observations.
