I am a very big birder, and I've found that a lot of birding is trying to see as many species as you can during a certain time or at a specific place, a lot of birding is all go, go, go, rushing around from species to species. Nature journaling will help me slow down and take time to appreciate the little things about the birds, and their environments, that I love. I want to begin nature journaling to understand my favorite birds more in depth, and become more knowledgeable on their behaviors and plumages, all while keeping track and cataloging experiences so I can look back at them forever. I liked the first girl who had boxes around her drawings and writing woven in between the boxes. I like how she set aside a seperate space for her drawings, I think trying that in my own sketches will be helpful to me because I write a lot in my journals, so much so that sometimes words have to take up the whole page, and the sketch has to go on a whole separate page. I like when both the sketches and their explanations are on the same page. I am very excited to do this course!
