Treehouse Time Presents: A Summer Birding Journal

by Leslea Tash

Only available on etsy.

This is the whole kit & kaboodle! A 130+ page birding journal to record all the marvelous songbirds, waterfowl, birds of prey, etc you see over Summer Break!

We started birding as a family a few years ago when we were homeschooling. In May of 2017, our youngest took a sick day from school and discovered her brothers' cache of birding logs, bird books, field guides, etc. She found one sticker book among them, with about 40 stickers in it. She immediately asked why there was a Snowy Owl, when we don't get Snowies in our neck of the woods! She was also disappointed not to see stickers for songbirds that were common to our front yard (like the Carolina Wren and Carolina Chickadee). I knew what I had to do! Although this set is personalized for our zip code, many birds in the guide are common to the Eastern United States. The closer you get to Southern Indiana, the more birds you will find in this guide...however, as many of them are migratory, no guarantees that you will see all of these, even if you live at our house! Birding is a journey, not a destination. :)

About the author

As Red Tash, I write mostly cozy fantasy midlife mysteries set in the magical Midwest. Everything else that I decide to fool around with usually gets published as by Leslea Tash, so you'll see a variety of genres on this profile.

I am a former journalist, an avid bird nerd, and a super-proud wife & mom of four. Slightly opinionated.

When I originally wrote this bio, I ended it with "Up to my neck in feathers, leaves, and sloppy kisses. Ask me if I mind." Since then, my kids are 75% grown up! I miss the sloppy kisses.

And we no longer keep chickens, but that was a fun time in our lives, and I get to relive it through Miss Fitz anytime I like.
