Texas Birder Press: Where Birds Sing: A Birdwatcher’s Journal
It’s a birdwatching journal, notebook, and field log book. Because “I’m pretty sure that was a warbler” deserves a better record than a fading memory and a shrug.
Whether you’re standing in the Pineywoods listening to birds you can’t quite see, scanning the shoreline for that one bird everyone else already found, or proudly identifying a Northern Cardinal for the 847th time (confidence counts), the Where the Birds Sing: A Birdwatching Journal is your trusty sidekick in the field.
A Birding Journal That Doesn’t Boss You Around
Some journals try to organize your life like a drill sergeant. This one hands you a notebook and says, “Go enjoy the birds.”
With clean, lined pages, you can:
Record bird sightings (even the ones you think you saw)
Log date, time, and location
Note weather conditions (“hot,” “really hot,” “why am I here”)
Capture behavior observations and field notes
Sketch birds—or at least something bird-shaped
Write down those moments when everything goes right… or hilariously wrong
No rigid forms. No tiny boxes. Just space to write like a normal human in the middle of a mosquito negotiation.

About The Author
Michael Mathews
I’m a proud East Texas native who has lived coast to coast, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, only to discover that the Piney Woods was where I really belonged, near where I hear rumors of home.
Since planting my boots firmly back in East Texas in 2014, I’ve put my biology background to work as a Texas Master Naturalist and later spent three years serving as Trip Director for Tyler Audubon. Along the way, I’ve somehow created several Facebook birding groups, created Texas Birder & several birding-related websites, taught nature photography workshops, and lead more birding field trips than any reasonable person should.
As an author, photographer, and lifelong naturalist, I enjoy helping people discover birds, wildlife, and wild places. Whether I’m leading a field trip, teaching a workshop, writing a book, or wandering down a forest trail with a camera in hand, I believe the more we appreciate the natural world, the more likely we are to protect it.
And if you happen to see someone standing on the side of a back road staring into the woods and muttering excitedly about a warbler, there’s a pretty good chance it’s me. It’s all part of the adventure, right?
