Entry 38

It has been a very long time since I have written an entry in this journal, that I’ve completely changed up my handwriting style [RIP people reading this on my website who won’t be able to see my beautiful handwriting 💔]. Here are some things relating to birds that I remember happening somewhat recently!
Firstly, I wrote a bird identification guide aimed at beginners, mostly about how to get good at identifying birds, and how to understand what “type” of bird you are seeing, even if you can’t figure out the exact species. It also delves into how to research and look up info so you can find out what bird you actually saw and stuff. I uploaded the guide to my tumblr. It got 2 notes 💔
Second thing more related to birds than the bird ID guide I wrote: a few days ago I saw at least three Willie Wagtails on our front lawn, which they rarely ever step foot on. I also saw an Eastern Spinebill hovering neat some of the small pink/red flowers in the garden, eating some of the nectar. I then immediately had to chase all the birds away, because I saw Jerry lurking in the bushes, about to pounce on them. He pounced on me instead, which was cute and fun. I may decide to draw more birds in the coming days, but I unfortunately have to focus on my digital art right now, rather than my pencil and pen art. But I will come back to draw more birds in this journal.
