Yes, it's perfectly acceptable to annotate anything in your binder. However, if you want to take a bird list out of your binder, it must be unannotated.

Hi! Can anyone help me with the differences between the common raven and the American crow? I know that their tail shape is different, but what about pictures that aren't with flying?

American crow has a smaller bill compared to the raven, which has a beak almost the size of its head. The raven is also more ruffled and larger than the American Crow

After my regional, I realized I was underprepared (even though I got 3rd) and I tried to add stuff into my binder, but it got too thick. Its diameter is 1.75 inches, so I decided I can go bigger. I have a D-ring binder that would seem to be 2 inches. The height/diameter of the ring measured from the indent on the metal rail is 2 inches, the spine is 3 inches, the diameter across from the middle of the ring is just barely on(but on) the 2-inch mark(measured from 1 inch from bottom of spine), but if you measure at a weird angle on the diagonal it will be 3 inches. Is this allowed?

This is why I hate the binder size limits.

I wouldn't use that one. I could see event supervisors measuring across the flat part of the D.

Honestly, the binder size limits are pretty good, I once brought a 5 in binder with me to competition, and I knew how to navigate it fairly well, I do think that binder size limits are for the better.

Otherwise, I always use the length of the rings of the binder from the part connected to the binder to the top of the ring

What I mean is that in my opinion binder size limits are very hard to define, forcing unnecessary needling over which way to measure a binder even after attempted clarifications, and don't really serve much of a purpose.
