Lickinghole Creek trail and reservoir can be a very good birding location. The trail now extends about 4 miles to Claudius Crozet Park. I went there on my own on September 15, and saw 35 avian species, including 5 warbler species: Blue-winged, Black and White, American Redstart, Magnolia, and Common Yellowthroat, as well as a Yellow-billed Cuckoo. Some of the trail around the reservoir was full of spider webs, and I played the role of "webmaster" by walking right into them!
