Editorial Reviews
Product Description:This durable journal is a must for birders of all skill levels, from novices just beginning to build a life list to veterans looking for the most up-to-date, systematic, and visually complete way to document sightings of even the rarest, most elusive birds. Based on the latest classifications by the American Ornithologists' Union and organized by family, its comprehensive, easy-to-use checklist itemizes every species recorded in North America, including accidental visitors—more than 960 in all, each identified both by common and Latin names and illustrated with specially commissioned paintings by the finest bird artists at work today.
The Birder's Journal features a user-friendly page layout that directly mirrors the
National Geographic Field Guide to the Birds of North America for quick access to information. It provides a consistent, familiar format for recording the place, date, and time a bird was spotted, along with additional space for notes and comments, sketches, and other important details. And with each new entry, it becomes ever more valuable and personal—both as a chronicle of birding accomplishments and as a memento of the observations and occasions that make birding so deeply satisfying.
A first-rate journal is an essential addition to any birder's bookshelf, and this is the best available anywhere. It's also a perfect gift, especially when paired with the latest edition of the
National Geographic Field Guide to the Birds of North America.Customer Reviews

being a birdwatcher i liked to record my sightings of new birds but the checklist was not as good as the national geographics birders journal it gives you decent writing space for most birds you can write field marks personal experinces with all the birds you see this book makes it all more exciting when you see a new bird this guide is excatly like the 5th edition of the national geographic field guid but also includes a species checklist this is the king of all birders journals.

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.
