Pollution Control Plant. It was present and cooperative this
afternoon from 4:20 to 5:00 PM. The Plant is reached by taking
Borregas north from Caribbean Drive. Borregas soon ends at a "T";
turn left, park in the public access area at the end of the plant.
Continue across the channel and walk out to the vicinity of a (very
visible) radar tower. You will see large ponds to the left and right
of the path, and a channel between them. The Franklin's Gull has most
often been found along that channel and its levees.
