Chapel Hill Bird Count Circle — areas 5, 6, and 7

5. Lake Hogan Farm area. Bounded on north by Eubanks Rd, on west by old NC 86, on south by Homestead Rd., on east by NC 86. North side of Homestead Road (SR 1777) from NC 86 to Lake Hogan Farm Rd. Includes Lake Hogan Farm development, Rogers Rd. (1729) and offshoots; Southern Railway line from Homestead Rd. to Eubanks Rd. Excludes Eubanks Rd., Old 86, and landfill. Notes: Hogan's Farm, a dairy, was formerly a fantastic birding spot. The area is highly developed now, but the lake is still worth checking. A new area that may be worth checking out: a greenway extending south from Morris Grove Elementary along Jones Creek, which may be connected to the future Twin Creeks (Moniese Nomp) Park. The greenway connects to Lake Hogan Farm Road on the south and Tallyho Trail on the east.
