What are the stories in your backyard? Whether you're a birder, hiker, or simply enjoy being outdoors, this thoughtfully designed journal helps you channel intentional curiosity with room to write and sketch what you observe outdoors. Within The Backyard Bird Journal, you'll find a new introduction from Amy Tan, her "no rules" guide to nature journaling with examples from her own work, and daily journaling pages peppered with quotes and sketch art from The Backyard Bird Chronicles. Use these pages to simply write or draw what is happening in front of you—whatever you notice and what it might remind you of. Keep the journal by a window or bring it with you on a walk. With a lay-flat spine, ribbon marker, removable jacket, and high-quality paper ideal for pen or pencil, The Backyard Bird Journal is your space for musing, reflecting on, and capturing the natural wonders of the world, whether you are a budding or practiced nature enthusiast.
