I saw 2 birds in this location this morning and wasn't sure whether or not to post them. Since Bruce has, I would like to add a couple of comments.
The area near the house at the end of the street (where you park and walk past to access the site) has some associated issues. The landowner clear cut the area east of his home last year on Christmas day. The area is owned by the city and you will need to cross it to access the birds. The landowner may not be happy about this and he is deemed to be very dangerous by city staff I have spoken to. I have not had a problem personally but numbers of people going to the site will almost certainly inflame the owner of this property even though you may be on city property. Please be careful of this individual if you go and if you want to put in a complaint to the city about the mess he is continuing to create, I would encourage it. There has been little movement on this issue despite local complaints.
