My Lifelists are important, so I regularly maintain them to make sure they are:
1) up-to-date, 2) accurate, 3) honest.
 
Lifelists mean different things to different people. To some, they are informal listings of which birds they've observed. To others, they are complete records of what, when, and where for every species experienced. My Lifelists provide memories to reflect back on past experiences, and promote a goal-oriented objective for new milestones and achievements.
 
Lifelist entries are in accordance with the five Recording Rules & Interpretation from the American Birding Association (ABA).
