When nature journaling, always remember that your purpose is not to be an artist. You are using words, pictures, and numbers to document your observations and experiences. Pay close attention to birds and watch their behaviors, their body language, and use of songs and calls. Focus on how they interact with other birds and their environment. Slow down and be curious like you were as a child. Enjoy this birdiful spring!
