You can make a simple life list with any method you choose and that will
work best for you, If you use a computer there are many excellent pieces of
software that will do this for you or you can use something simple as Excel,
from Microsoft.

Every bird you see, you tick it off your "life list" Say for instance you
only ever bird in Washington State, there are some 471 plus birds there, you
see an American Crow, you tick it off and now you have 470, left to find!
You make a note of the Date, how many you have seen and location, Simple
eh?

Here is a website with Washington Birds listed, you can copy there into a
database for your records.

The there is the excellent Avisys birding database

or the one I choose to use

Hi Tweeters,

How do people construct a life list? Is there any special format? Do you
include place, time, quantities or just the bird name?

Thanks
