Welcome to Nature Journaling Birds!
The Nature Journaling courses are designed for you to learn more about various species and the ecology that influences them. You’ll learn about observing and sketching in the field and how to record those observations in a nature journal. We’ll also talk a lot about being curious people and asking lots of questions!
Nature journaling comes in many different forms. Be sure to watch the video on Nature Journaling Themes to get some ideas on how you can incorporate nature observations into your routine.
There’s no wrong way to be a nature keeper! Whether you sketch quickly in the field or wait till you get back home, everyone can be a success. Put in the “pencil miles” and watch your skills grow!
Every night, before he turned in, he would write in the book. He wrote about things he had done, things he had seen, and thoughts he had had. Sometimes he drew a picture. He always ended by asking himself a question so he would have something to think about while falling asleep. – E.B.White, The Trumpet of the Swan
