Taking Part in the GBBC is Easy!
The GBBC is open to bird watchers of all ages and skill levels. Participation is free and no registration is required. During the four-day event, participants count birds for at least 15 minutes, keeping track of the highest number of individuals of each bird species they see together at one time. Of course, you can watch for longer than 15 minutes -- and you can go out each day over the long weekend. Participants report what they see online, and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's computers convert their sightings to maps, lists, and charts that anyone can explore by continent, region, state, or locality. Within minutes of filing their checklists, participants see their sightings register on the maps. The website can also provide customized local checklists for birders to use.
