Since beginning to bird, I've been going back to same park at least once a month. I can see how the type and number of birds change as the seasons progress.

1) What inspired me to begin nature journalling - I was looking for a way to capture the memories and feelings of my birding excursions. Also, I thought this course would provide advice and training on how to better observe nature. 2) Which ideas or approaches do you want to try - Watercolors. It may be rough at first, but that's my plan. I've seen many beautiful watercolor paintings that speak to me more than other mediums. 3) Different ideas - I may also take pictures of the journal pages to preserve the images and make it easier to share.

I haven't signed up for rare bird alerts, but I did join the local birding club on a hike. I'm fortunate that our area has an active state, regional, and local birder networks. Getting to know the members of those groups has been fun and rewarding. However, my favorite interactions are with runners and walkers who notice my binoculars and stop to talk about the birds they saw in the area. Also, the staff at the local parks usually provide helpful tips about the birds in the area. They're at the parks more than I am, and they talk to birders who frequent the park. They're a good source of information.

Activity 3: This morning I heard the songs of an American Robin and a close but hidden Carolina Wren. I usually hear the songs of the wrens and the wood thrushes. However, seeing them in the woods is a different story.

Activity 3: After looking at the bar charts and range maps, I'm excited to explore more of my region. I did not know I could see: Wood Ducks, Wild Turkeys, Great Egrets, Red-Headed Woodpeckers, and Prothonotary Warblers.
