Who this list is for
This bird feeder observation chart list is for a nine-year-old recording birds seen at an existing feeder. It creates an observation display and does not include building or filling a feeder.
How to use this list
Set up the tri-fold cardboard display board indoors as a record-keeping station. Use bird identification printouts to compare birds seen at the feeder, then write entries on white cardstock with pencils and fine-tip black markers. Add colored cardstock headings and use the ruler for neat chart lines. Put reusable bird-reference or chart pieces under the six clear self-adhesive laminating sheets, hold temporary notes with binder clips, and use sticky notes for sightings that need to be added later. Glue sticks secure finished sections.
Common mistakes
Do not claim an identification based on a quick glimpse; compare the bird with the provided printouts and record what was actually observed. Skip feeder construction and bird food planning, since neither is part of this list. Avoid laminating a page before its notes and labels are final.
