Location Notes
Daylight today: 12:55PM to 3:15AM
We visit Foster City Radio Tower at least
3 times a year.
Note to photographers: The pond between the dog park and the sewage treatment plant can be a great place for end-of-day shorebird shots as the sun is going down. A slow and stealthy approach can allow you a pretty close, low angle shot of dowitchers and sandpipers. Flights of terns, ducks, shorebirds, and even skimmers are also possible. The dog park might have a porta potty. No entrance fee.
