Mowing seems to be a good time for wildlife viewing!
ReplyDeleteDo you manually alphabetize your lists, or is there a tool somewhere that will do that?
Mowing does sometimes scare something up.
ReplyDeleteTo alphabetize my lists I key them into a spreadsheet in Google Docs and use the sort function. I use a sheet for each location and preface non-birds with "zi" (without the quotes) for insects, "za" for amphibians etc. For instance:
Ivory-billed Woodpecker
Great Auk
ziTiger Swallowtail
zaBullfrog
American Crow
.

.
Then after sorting it's just copy and paste into Blogger. Of course I have to delete the "z" bit but that's not usually much.
I reuse the same spreadsheet each day-just delete the previous days wildlife on each sheet.
Check your gmail for an invitation to view my worksheet.
