John Austin Farley Journals

These notebooks are largely about birdwatching in New England and include what birds were seen, when they were seen, and where they were seen. There are large sections that have more observations of behavior and habits. There are also pages with quotes inscribed by the author in the book, appointment notes, and other thoughts. Throughout the journals are many doodles of birds and parts of birds, and many of the covers are covered in doodles and notes. Some pages have been crossed out or scribbled over but are still legible, and some pages from journals have been torn out and removed entirely. There are pages with notes folded and tucked into most journals. Finally, there are a few small art pieces tucked inside, a newspaper clipping of the Jabberwocky poem, and remnants of some colorful decorative stickers. Almost all journals have John Austin Farley's name written in it at least once.
