I was in the backseat of a car and I kept seeing all these cool birds outside through the window.

“Ooh, a blue heron! A roadrunner! A quail!”

And I decided that I should keep a bird journal so I could keep track of all the birds I saw.

So I opened up a text editor and start making a recfile.

I spent a few minutes figuring out the schema that I wanted. I realized that I wanted to be able to group birds by ‘trip’ or by event or outing so I could see all the birds I saw at any one particular time. e.g. “weekend at the beach.” so I made an extra record for trips.

And then logged all my birds!
