How to play
- Print a card and take a pencil. Read the clues together if needed.
- Watch quietly from a distance. Leave birds, nests and feathers where they are.
- Mark a box when you notice its action or feature. One bird can match several boxes. For the call clue, listen for a bird sound.
- Find three marked boxes across, down or diagonally. There is no free center square and no time limit.
- Use the second page to sketch one bird and record colors, actions, sounds and questions.
No species names needed
The clues ask for observations such as two birds together, a bird swimming or a bird taking off. You do not need to identify the species. Tail length and feather colors are your own descriptions, not identification rules. Leave a box blank if you are unsure.
Some clues may not occur where you watch. You can continue on another day or choose a different card from the full pack. This single sample gives everyone the same card; it is useful for trying the format or playing together.
