Hummingbird, Gould monograph, 1849

[837] [advice-hummingbird-2] Sunday noon: write Hummingbird, 1849, and 360 on the notebook at the children’s corner. Put “Gould monograph” beside Hummingbird. 1849 is the second line on the notebook; 360 is the next. Before you leave the children’s corner, reread only Hummingbird. At the picture book, say Gould monograph and 360 aloud.

Hummingbird sits in the field note for 1849 under “Gould monograph”, and the figure beside it is 360. At the end of the children’s table, check that the label and the notebook match, and correct the notebook if they do not. Do not merge a zoo birthday with the field survey. This week, keep only the field side. Named projects (Project Tiger, ACAP, ICCAT, Amboseli) are the conservation bureaucracy of the type. At the children’s corner, open Hummingbird so the notebook shows 1849 first, 360 next, and “Gould monograph” beside them.

This week, before you open the animal book in the children’s corner, write only the name, the year, and the figure on the notebook, then read those three lines once and close the book. At home, leave the notebook on the shoe shelf and, the next morning, read the three lines aloud once, then shut it. The order is Hummingbird, 1849, 360, then “Gould monograph”. When the picture book is done, look again only at 1849 for Hummingbird and leave 360 on the notebook.

Do not line the species up by size, danger, or popularity. If someone asks which animal is greater, read the field entry for that year again. Check the picture-book label against the notebook, and leave any ranking space blank. Do not merge a zoo birthday with the field survey. This week, keep only the field side. Match Gould monograph with 360 at the children’s corner before you close 1849 for Hummingbird. Hummingbird sits in the field note for 1849 under “Gould monograph”, and the figure beside it is 360.

This week, before you open the animal book in the children’s corner, write only the name, the year, and the figure on the notebook, then read those three lines once and close the book. Hummingbird sits in the field note for 1849 under “Gould monograph”, and the figure beside it is 360.1849
