[SBB] Trop. Kingbird directions

[Dean Manley <[[email protected]]>]

Hi Folks,

I departed the Tropical Kingbird location yesterday not thinking I would be
posting directions.  Memory was in error as I had stated the relative
position of two landmarks incorrectly. Namely the card reader gate (Z-3) is
past the electrical substation instead of before it. However this did not
keep certain ardent birders from finding the target tree this morning.  The
target tree is only 75 or so feet south of the electrical substation.  You
can change your notes but I am rewrighting new directions below.

Directions to the Tropical Kingbird site (revised 11/07/06): The discovery
site is not to far from Hwy 237.  From Hwy 237 take Zanker Rd.
approximatley north toward Alviso.  You will come to a building on the left
with a sign indicating San Jose Santa Clara Water Polution Control Plant
4245 Zanker Rd.  This sign is perpendicular to the road and you may have to
crane your neck a bit to read it while driving by.  Next on the left is the
open green mowed lawn area with a line of ornamental trees along the road.
In a bit you will come to what I've been calling the electrical substation
(a bunch of long HV insulators and equipment encircled in it's own fence)
on the left, on the lawn benind the fence. The target tree is about 75 feet
south of the substation and 40 feet behind the fence. The pine-looking
River-oak Casuarina with some bare branches at the top is where the bird
was seen yesterday.  There are no other trees with bare branches at the top
in the immediate area.

As of noon today I don't think the Tropical Kingbird has been refound.
