What it saves you
- Life list: each target shows times seen and first/last sighting
- Locations rank by how many sightings they produce
- Conditions per observation help you pick the next night or morning
- Targets not yet seen form a hunting list
How the parts work together
- Before you go: Check "Still to see" for the season → Pick a spot from "Best spots"
- In the field: Log each observation with target, place and conditions
- After: Your life list and location counts update themselves
