Hi East Bay birders:
I also tried for this bird not knowing exactly where Frank's Dump West
is located. I ended up not walking far enough north to get to the
pond or see the bird. Here are the correct instructions kindly
provided by Bob Power: Winton Ave west to the end. Take trail straight
west to the bay. Take Bay Trail straight north about 1/3 of a mile to
the huge depressed pond/wetland on the east side of the trail.
I then went to the Hayward Shoreline Interpretive Center and was able
to see one Black Tern from the viewing platform looking north. I
walked out the Bay Trail to the large pond with islands southeast of
Johnson's Landing. There were many phalaropes, the closest and first
one I got in my binoculars was a beautiful breeding plumaged Red
Phalarope! Great ending to a short outing.
Good birding.
