Title: Life list
Post by: Luv2Bird on April 01, 2010, 12:24:01 PM

I'm looking to create a lifelist using an Excel Spreadsheet so I can add my own headings ... does anyone have a template or know where I can get one?
Thanks

I just put my back-yard list on Excel in December--the only hard part was reading my own writing.
I had a column for common name, for scientific name, a narrow one for notes, and a whole mess of the date I saw the bird, if I recorded that. (You might not care about the date, but my list is potentially more interesting for the migrants than the residents & breeders.  Recording the dates gave me some long strings to the right for some species eg white-throated sparrow & nothing at all for the regulars eg robin.)
What headings do you want for your life list?

We keep talking about doing this, and still haven't. I've looked at a couple books on amazon, but maybe this is a better idea.
