First entries describes travel details (method of travel, accommodations, etc.) and descriptions of interactions with colleagues.

Some are organized by time of day followed by description of observed behavior; sometimes list sex, quantity, and type (e.g. nilgai, axis, sambar). Some entries are more narrative in style and describe environment, wildlife, and commentary on location. There is some discussion of park and sanctuary management.

A portion of the field book discusses work along the Naranyi River in Nepal, including method of travel, environment, wildlife observed.
