I second that.

how is it better?

It follows the national list exactly, so once you identify the critter it is really easy to find it in the field guide.

None of the field guides have all of the specimens from the National List.

I personally am doing Peterson because it's easier to shove notes into. Audubon is probably better if you're going to do very little with adding your own information.

Do you know about the new rule....................

what new rule???

the new rule that says you cant use any kind of sticky notes. just the guide and ONLY the guide. jk.
i second that.

i have never seen that rule it would kinda suck

I know in NY they are saying that you can't stuff pages of notes in - just Post-Its, and no full page ones either. I don't think they have an official size limit, but it probably wouldn't pay to push it.

I have like 4 tablets of post it notes that take up just a little less than a full page of the Peterson book. 'Shove notes into' probably had more of a negative connotation than I meant it to. I'm so glad I don't live in NY...that rule that all of the questions will come from information inside the Peterson seems to sort of ruin the research/study portion of the event for me.
