About this Location

There have been some changes effecting birding at Juice Plant. One is the drainage pond where I found Buff-breasted Sandpipers, Stilt Sandpipers, Short-billed Dowitcher and others in September 2021 is dried up and doesn't appear that it will form again. There are several other seasonal wet areas though.

The second big change is that the trees on the left of the first dirt road to the left are all gone. As of February 5, 2023 per my photo all debris is being pushed up into large piles, possibly to be burned. Of course I don't know future plans of this area.
