about Audubon Life-List Journal
A keepsake sure to be treasured by both amateur and expert, the Audubon Life-List Journal provides a special place for birders to record their memories. Entries for more than seven hundred species allow ample space to note the time, date, location, and details of each sighting. But the journal is much more than a checklist. Intended for use after excursions in the field, the pages invite comments, sketches, mementos. Over time, with thought, each book becomes a unique reflection of its owner, and of a profoundly personal relationship with birds. Illustrated essays interspersed throughout the diary focus on the many intriguing facets of birding. From monogamous mating pairs to ergonomically designed eggs to elaborate nest constructions, the idiosyncrasies of bird behavior are presented in an accessible manner by Audubon Society ornithologists. The Life-List Journal also celebrates the cultural impact of the bird, noting its symbolic significance in literature, language, art, and film. Each essay is accompanied by original images from the world's greatest bird photographers. An extensive reference section includes tips on attracting birds to the backyard, suggestions for planning trips around seasonal migrations, and listings of conservation organizations and important bird areas.
