I have had a bunch of people asking where to find the Eastern Phoebe at the
UCSC upper campus.
It is a little tricky as it is not in Marshall Field and the trail from
Twin Gates/Marshall Field is closed due to wet trail conditions and damage
to endangered plants.
Attached is a map of how to avoid trail closures. Little arrow on left is
the trail that isn’t too wet and closed. The bird is a the arrow in the
middle The trail is tricky to find I think. It is not into the meadow where
you park. It’s at the edge of the woods a little ways back toward twin
gates.
It was in a little side meadow.
Good luck and stay on the trails to keep from trampling the endangered
plants!
