Geocache Description:


This Cache is not at the posted coordinates!

If you’ve ever stopped by this parking lot around dusk, you know the scene: the parking lot transforms into a feathered frenzy. Flocks upon flocks of blackbirds swoop, chatter, and perch on every line, tree, and cart return. It’s a universal College Station experience—you can almost hear the caws and wingbeats before you even step out of your car. 🐦🐦🐦

This cache pays tribute to that nightly gathering. Your mission is to wrangle the birds and lock them up in the Jailbird Cell before the coordinates reveal themselves. Once the feathered chaos clears, you’ll know where to go.

About the Puzzle

Open the little “Jailbird Jamboree” game using the button below. You’ll find the screen swarmed with birds. Drag every last one into the jail cell, and once the skies are clear, the true coordinates will appear.

Cache Details

  • Type: Letterbox Hybrid (because even the birds need somewhere to roost)

  • Parking: You can park and walk right up to the cache, no bushwacking needed.

  • Container: Plastic Ammo Can, with logsheet and stamp (please don’t take the stamp—it’s for stamping your letterboxing book!)

Bring a pen and inkpad, bring your patience, and enjoy the flock. Just remember: Around here, the birds are always watching…
