The count is fun and easy for kids and adults, and it's easy to participate:

1. Plan to count birds for at least 15 minutes during February 15–18, 2008. Count birds at as many places and on as many days as you like—just keep a separate list of counts for each day and/or location.

2. Count the greatest number of individuals of each species that you see together at any one time, and write it down...

...and #3: enter your results through the GBBC web page.
