One important difference worth noting between the GBBC and the
Audubon CBCs is that there is no participant fee for the GBBC.
The intent is more like Project Feederwatch concentrated into
one weekend across the US and Canada although as John points
out, you are not limited to your backyard (as the name would
suggest) but are welcome to count from any location. You should
turn in one checklist for each geographic area and each day and
may turn in as many checklists as you like (so for example, if
you go birding at a local park on Sat afternoon and count birds
at your feeders on Sat and Sun mornings, that would be 3 checklists).
There is also a photo contest for bird photos taken during the count.
