“Spot ‘n’ Jot is a convenient and easy way to keep a record of birds and notes about the trip itself. Since the cards are numbered, I always know how many birds I’ve seen without having to go back and count them as I did when using a notebook.Very handy”

— Sandra L., Houston, TX

“I just returned from a week of looking for Puerto Rican endemics & used the Spot 'n' Jot cards. They work really well! They are easy to use & tough enough for use in rugged field conditions. Thanks again!”

— Kelly F., Patagonia, AZ.

“As a leader of numerous birding field trips, I found Spot 'n' Jot to be the simplest and easiest way to keep a record of new birds, locations and any notes about the trip itself. It's also a great gift for friends. I never leave home without a Spot 'n' Jot!”

— Nancy H. DeStefanis
Director, San Francisco Nature Education

“Spot 'n' Jot is a wonderful tool for birders, a great way to organize a day's birding experiences. I enjoy being able to look back on my trips and remember not only all of the birds that were spotted, but also important notes such as weather, date and place -- facts which I might not otherwise have recorded in an ordinary notebook. (Spot 'n' Jot reminds me to do this) The graphics and layout of the cards are visually satisfying, and the organization of the information is workable. Why didn't someone think of this sooner? Thanks, Linda!”

     —Betty R., Castro Valley

“My friend gave me a pack of your Spot 'n' Jot Field Logs as a gift and I have not left home without one since! I keep one in my pocket at all times, and an extra pack in the car. It really is the perfect thing for keeping field lists and notes, and I love that I can file them and be able to retrieve info so easily. No more lost field notes on scraps of paper or having to search forever through notebooks to find a particular day's list! Finally, a field aid that really works! Bravo!”

— Billie S., San Francisco
