Many birders keep ‘life lists” to journal their birding experiences— such as the date, time and place they first saw a new avian species. The “My Forever North America LIFE BIRD LIST and beyond” allows birders to keep track of those birds, as well as compile a numbered list of species. While there are online options— these books provide a physical record of your experiences to be “forever” treasured.

The book includes all Checklist Code 1-2-3 birds and plenty of extra pages to record rarities, log travel and make notes. It features a chronological numbered list up to 400 birds (with room for many more). Made of hearty materials, it can withstand a birder’s travels.

The book can also be used for keeping annual totals, or totals covering a certain area— for example, Ohio Birds 2021 or Lorain County Birds 2022.

This is a nice holiday gift for any birder, and, as a bonus, the proceeds generously benefit Black River Audubon.
