[cobirds] Black Phoebe at Fremont Sanitation District Plant in Florence

Yesterday I found a Black Phoebe in a tree behind the Fremont Sanitation District Plant in Florence.  Black Phoebes have frequented this area including the fencing around the plant  as well as the area where the tanks are located for a number of years.  Last year a barrier was put up across the dirt road that runs on the north side of the plant that says not to enter as it is the property of the Sanitation District.  I have spoken with a District official who has indicated that entry for birding by foot (still cannot drive behind the barrier) is not a problem.  He has suggested I speak with the Plant manager to explain what people with binoculars would be doing there and I will do so on Monday.  The Sanitation District does have high fencing around the Plant that must not be breached as this is their security barrier. 

The Florence River Park is just to the north of the Sanitation Plant and those who not been there recently will find that they have made some big changes.  At this point vehicles are not permitted beyond the parking lot just across the wetlands.  However they are in the process of adding stone fencing going back to the rear part of the park that will allow vehicles on the road but not tearing up the vegetation as has occurred in the past few years.
