I started bird watching in earnest as a pandemic activity to get outside and spend time finding birds. I journaled but without drawing. I would draw birds separate from journaling. My son bought this course for me as a Christmas gift and I am excited to combine observation with drawing! I think the first journal example best fits me. I only just started to experiment with views of birds from angles (instead of just side views). I am not ready for the creative flourishes in the other journals.
