Anybody got a zine or other handout for kids about how to wear a mask?
My kiddo has been giving colourful kn95s to other interested kids... but those kids often have no info on how to wear them properly, how to handle them safely, why bother, etc. I have printables for grown-ups but it would be rad to have something cute and easy to read for the under 10 crowd.

@AnnieG Hello! Not sure about the others but I see this one 
I notice I get more responses to questions when I use hashtags so that more people see them-- maybe that is something to try?
I pop in here quite intermittently so I definitely miss lots. It means I always appreciate boosts-- I probably missed whatever it is when it was posted
@scandigonian I love that!
@scandigonian Birds and plants together?

@jmeowmeow Nice weather for vampires
Lol I just want to add that this is a photo of white paper that I took outdoors with southern exposure literally at noon. PNW winter gloom is no joke
Other things I might eventually add to the bird journal: a checklist organized by bird family, space for goals like learning more local bird calls, and, for real, notes on bird omens because they are so dramatic sometimes
Dated notes section is the one part i did not add any retroactive info to. Just free pages to add notes from outings and classes if i want to. My goal is to include sketches even if they aren't great
I love this photo because you can see a chickadee perched above the owl, screaming, which is how I notice owls 90% of the time
I like including notes by bird because it gives an easy way to figure out where to find them. I organize my urban foraging notebook this way too, by plant, so I can easily figure out options for gathering public fennel or plums or whatever
To make bird notes easy to look up I numbered them in the same order as the life list, but I feel no pressure to fill them all in. I don't usually reserve sections in notebooks but this seemed worth it. Most commercial/pre-printed bird journals have a reserved section for each species.
Same as the bird list, I added old memories here
Most of my notebooks are various grimoires so I am in the habit of dedicating them. Seemed apropos to dedicate each section of this one to a bird 
I thought about including birds I saw in zoos or rescue programs, but when I reflected on animals I have seen both caged and free I decided not too. It's really different seeing flamingos on the loose
People have different rules for life lists... I have never been a serious birder but I have been a casual birder my whole life. Lot of girl guide badges and relatives who always bring binoculars. So I started my list from the beginning, from memory
Three sections: a big list, notes by species, and dated session notes... I am contemplating adding a section for omens 
#FountainPens peeps, these Opus notebooks are $12 canadian and have 224 pages of nice paper and a built-in pen loop. BC local business too 
I have yet to find anyone who keeps bird notes beyond a list on ebird, so I setup my notebook my own way... Little bit log book, little bit nature journal, little bit grimoire.
Sharing because I love looking at other people's notebooks so maybe you do too
