A Life Bird Checklist is a ongoing list of various birds that a birder successfully views, identifies and if lucky photographs for the very first time. As I expand my locations to shoot birds I have decided to create my list. Lucky for me, because I use a photography database (Adobe Lightroom) which tells me when I took the photo I was able to look back and add several from the past.
