4.0 out of 5 stars Frustrated by grouped species, July 11, 2007

A useful tool for organizing, but I'm finding that Fashingbauer's decisions on merging and omitting various species don't quite fit with my own records (or my field guide!)

Still, a nice little book for keeping track of a life list.

4.0 out of 5 stars Simple Life List Book, December 11, 2008

This review is from: Pocket Life List: A Birdwatcher's Life List and Diary of North American Birds (Paperback)

Bought this as a gift for someone who's just starting bird watching. There are no pictures. But it is small which is nice for traveling. Birds are grouped together. There is room for writing where/when and comments. It's not fancy but I think it will do the job.
