Dear Diary

I've had several bird journals over the years and I think I have just as much fun picking them out as I do writing in them.

It's fun to look back at all the things you've seen and even be reminded of some you'd forgotten about. Like the wild turkey with four babies I saw at a park near my friends' house. And the joy I had watching a Scrub Jay drink out of my birdbath. "He took a sip and then tilted his head back to swallow down the water."

I wonder what memories next year's journal will hold...
