Nature Journaling in watercolor

I'm always in awe of artists who sketch and paint on location.   I like to walk around and look at everything, so I usually take photos and paint from them.   I did take my sketchbook to a bird talk a few
months ago,  and I gave up quickly.   I was trying to write down the information about the birds, as well as sketch them.   They were moving quickly so I went back to photos.
