As a relatively new birder and an avid reader of this site, I would like some ideas/help on bird list documentation. I currently am keeping a lifelist and a yr list with bare bones documentation of name date and place. I have not been in the habit of doing a list each time I go out. What techniques/software/lists do you more experienced birders keep and can you point me to some good resources. My interet was sparked by the kestrel thread as I see Kestrels almost everytime I go to Pickerington Ponds in SE Columbus. However, I have not been keeping any longitudinal data and would like to start doing so.
