Now that cameras and smartphones have largely replaced the once-ubiquitous field notebook in the pockets of birders – for better or for worse – the field notebook runs the risk of becoming an anachronism. But it shouldn’t! There’s so much you can learn from a good field notebook, and that’s one of the reasons the Field Notebook module continues to be a popular one in our annual Young Birder of the Year Contest.

04e-HESP-May-1982Noted birder, author, and raconteur Steve N.G. Howell has created an excellent 5 part series of posts at The Eyrie, the ABA’s young birder blog, on the ins and outs of building a great field notebook. But the information there is not just relevant to young birders, so please head over and check it out!

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5
