OVERVIEW

**DRIVERS GET PRIORITY**

Are you disappointed at the amount of birds at UVA? Well me too. Lickinghole Creek is a birding hotspot with 200 species listed and it’s only 20 minutes away! The trail is easy to follow and takes us along the creek to the lake, providing an opportunity to spot both lots of birds. No previous birding experience is required, but we recommend downloading the Merlin ID app to identify the birds you spot and the eBird app to keep track of your sightings. The only equipment necessary is a pair of binoculars, but thanks to the gear room, we will have enough pairs for everyone to have their own as needed.
You are also welcome to bring a camera if you want to take pictures of birds as well!

The plan:
8 am: meet at Echols and drive to the creek
8:20 am: find where all the birds are hiding
10:10 am: say goodbye to the birds and depart
10:30: back at Echols

You should bring:
water
warm clothes

I’ll bring:
binoculars as needed
