    Drawing from the photo, I felt that I had time enough to capture the bird morphology, plumage, and body proportions. To sketch the whole body in proportion was easy with the photo as reference, trying to emphasize details like the number of primary and secondary wing feathers was challenging. Yes, I did not notice before that the ventral stripes of this yellow warbler were of a different color (brown) than the stripes on the rest of its body (black). It makes a difference depending on the goal of this particular entry, to document just the presence of the bird, or to make a study towards a correct illustration.

    1. That inspired me was the inspiration I have always drawn from nature, since also is my work environment; and ultimately is the perfect union between my art hobby (painting and drawing in general) and my academic background in sciences. I love the idea of fitting a month in just one page, I hope I can fit everything I get to draw in mine... also the idea of inserting squares to fit your notes would help me to a have a more organized layout. I would like to include my descriptions of sounds and smells; as well as, things I collet from my journaling trips (sustainably and mindfully collected) to include them in a "scrapbooky" style.
