Birdtober 2024: Deep Dive into Anna's Hummingbirds from Life

In previous years I have enjoyed doing the official #birdtober series in the past where you follow a given bird on a given day. This is almost always a bird that hails from far away and I’ve needed to work from photos, which is okay but was getting me a bit frustrated. There is nothing wrong about working from photos: you do learn plenty. But this year I’ve decided to go ahead and work only from life, making nature journaling-type notes on each day’s work, focusing on this or that feature of a bird I see every day.

Hoping to learn a lot and enjoy myself.
