About Us
The Squirrel and Bird Watching Club is dedicated to the observation and appreciation of squirrels and birds on the UIUC campus. These important creatures are a vital part of the local ecosystem, and we hope to share our admiration of both these animals within the Squirrel and Bird Watching Club as well as with the university and local community. We believe Squirrel and Bird Watching should be open to all UIUC students, regardless of personal identity or views, and to that end we seek to provide a space for any squirrel or bird enthusiast at UIUC. Included in our mission is the observation and understanding of related species that coinhabit and interact with squirrels and birds. This includes but is not limited to predators (coyotes, snakes, foxes), habitats (various trees including the noble oak), and relatives (chipmunks, lagomorphs, and other Rodentia or Mammalia).
