TN birdwatching journal: traveler's notebook inserts for every sighting

TN birdwatching journal inserts sized for the standard traveler's notebook (4.33 by 8.25 inches, 110 by 210 mm). Log each outing, sketch unknown birds in the field, follow the visitors to your feeders, plan and record trips, build a life list of 120 species and keep a list of birds you still dream of seeing. The undated insert has 28 pages on 7 sheets, marked for cutting, trimming and folding.

You get a PDF in US Letter and A4. Print it double-sided, cut, fold and staple it into one slim booklet. It is an instant download, and nothing is shipped.

How the TN birdwatching journal sharpens your birding

Every outing has its own sighting log for the place, habitat, times and weather, with a 14 row table for each bird, how many you counted and what it was up to, plus space for birds you only heard. Puzzled by a bird? The field sketch page guides you through its size, markings, behavior and song, so you can identify it later with confidence.

Back home, the feeder log, weekly tally and backyard year show which birds visit and when, while the life list gathers your first sighting of 120 species in one spot. Nothing is dated, so you can begin in any season and print more sighting logs or field sketch sheets whenever you run out.

Who this birding insert is for

• Birders with a standard traveler's notebook or leather cover who want a bird booklet small enough for a jacket pocket
• Backyard watchers with feeders who want to know which birds come, how many and in what months
• Beginners learning to identify birds by size, markings and song who enjoy sketching what they see
• Anyone growing a life list, mapping out birding days or aiming for a yearly species total

Design and print details

• Minimal and elegant, with white pages and soft blush pink accents that save ink
• Wide margins, so a home printer will not cut anything off
• Landscape sheets in US Letter (8.5 by 11 in) and A4 (210 by 297 mm), with two 110 by 210 mm pages on each, plus dashed lines for cutting, trim marks and center folding marks
• No dates, so it works in any year and any season
• A themed birding set, separate from the PetiteDiary Traveler's Notebook Inserts with their weekly, daily, travel journal and habit tracker pages

Inside the TN birdwatching journal: 16 pages

1. 1Cover page listing the contents and the insert size
2. 2Printing, cutting, folding and binding instructions, with a table showing which PDF pages form each sheet
3. 3 and 4The outer sheet. On the front cover you add your name, a volume number and start and finish dates, and the back cover asks a finder to return it. My birding year sets targets for species, outings and new birds, recalls the bird that sparked it all, lists six spots to explore, skills you want to gain, gear you wish for and what you love about birding. A wishlist page holds 24 dream birds with places to look, the right season and a seen box, plus a sketch box for your most wanted bird
4. 5 and 6Sighting log sheet with 4 log pages. Each has a log number, location and habitat, date, start and end, temperature and weather icons, a 14 row table of birds seen (bird, count, what it was doing), heard only, best moment and the day's tally of species and birds
5. 7 and 8Field sketch sheet. Two full pages give you the bird or your best guess, where, date, time and count, a large dot grid drawing box and a size check against a sparrow, robin, pigeon or crow. A checklist of field marks covers head and face, the shape of the bill, wing bars, tail and legs, followed by behavior, song or call and how confident you feel. Two quicker pages fit a pair of birds each, with time, place, habitat, a small drawing box, size, colors, bill, markings, song and activity, and a list of birds to research later
6. 9 and 10Backyard sheet. My backyard has a dot grid yard map, a feeders and food table with dates filled and cleaned, water and shelter, plants birds love and ideas to try. A feeder log offers 25 rows (date, time, bird, count, food), a weekly tally covers 22 birds over 7 days, and Backyard year gives every month its own box
7. 11 and 12Trip sheet. Plan a day out with the destination, hotspot or trail, date, meeting spot, sunrise time, five target birds, habitats, an eight item packing list, directions and parking, and notes. Two logs record where you went, who came along, the date and times, distance in miles and weather, then a species list of 36 lines in two columns, the day's highlight, whether you would return and a star score out of 5. Trips I took holds 26 outings with date, place, species count and a favorite box, plus milestone markers as your total passes 25, 50, 100 and 200
8. 13 and 14Life list sheet, 4 numbered pages for 120 species, each noting the date and place of your first sighting
9. 15 and 16The last sheet. Birds through the seasons gives a box each to spring, summer, fall and winter. Songs and calls has 16 rows to note each bird, how its voice sounds to you and where you heard it, along with calls still unidentified. A dot grid page for drawing and a lined page for field notes finish the booklet
