Journal Entries - Key

I thought I would try to enter some general notes for days posted to iNaturalist. I'm entering them first into an Excel spreadsheet, then merging to a Word document. At the moment of writing, I have 12 entries, dating back to mid August. Over time, these entries may be adjusted or expanded.

As of the time of writing, the fields are as follows:
