FIELD NOTE 01Learning the landscape
Good birding starts with habitat. Wetlands, woodland edges, fields, and backyards each tell you which species to watch for.

HABITAT
Birds tell you about the places they live.
One of the best parts of birding is learning to see habitat differently. Water, food, cover, nesting sites, migration routes, and seasonal changes all shape what appears in the field.
This journal focuses on observation and appreciation rather than collecting a list simply for the sake of a list.
PHOTOGRAPHY
Watch first. Photograph second.
Until the old laptop is replaced and the original photo collection is recovered, this gallery uses clearly labeled AI-generated concept imagery. These placeholders can be replaced with genuine field photographs as they become available.
