Birding journal
A birding journal that writes itself as you go
Feather Journal turns the birds you record into a journal you'll want to read again — dated, illustrated, and tied to the places you found them.
Quick answer
A birding journal is a running personal record of your birding outings: dates, places, the species you found and what you noticed about them. In Feather Journal, each sighting you save becomes a journal entry automatically, and you add the notes and photos that make it yours.
Your entries build themselves
Record a sighting and the date, place, species and photos are already in your journal. You only write the part worth writing — what the morning was actually like.
Notes, photos and places together
- Each entry carries its sightings, photos and location
- Lifers are marked automatically
- Add your own written entries any time
- Look back by day, place, trip or species
A writing assistant, not a ghostwriter
Turn a few field notes into a readable entry, then edit it in your own voice before it's saved. The assistant helps you write; it never replaces what you noticed.
Share it — or don't
Your journal can live at a public address you share like a blog, with individual entries and locations kept private whenever you want.
Common questions
What should I write in a birding journal?
Date, place, weather, the species you saw with rough counts, and two sentences about something that could only have happened on that particular morning.
Can I keep my journal private?
Yes. Journals and individual entries can each be public or private, and exact locations are never published by default.
