Info:<\/span><\/h5>\n

the address is – 11 Strawberry Farm Rd.\u00a0 Irvine, CA 92612<\/p>\n

From 405 Freeway Southbound direction- exit University Dr.\/ Jeffrey exit and head west from the off ramp (that would be a left over the 405 freeway)
\nFrom 405 Freeway Northbound direction – bear right onto University.<\/p>\n

Go roughly 1 mile and make a left onto Strawberry Farms Road.<\/p>\n

Follow this roadway about a mile down into the golf course area and park at the end on the left as close to this main roadway as you can (note the last driveway is for the water district).\u00a0 Be sure to park in a marked parking space area.\u00a0 Once you exit your vehicle and are facing the main roadway entrance, if you bear left you’ll be heading in the direction of the water reservoir (see images below).\u00a0 Take the side walk up the steep hill (watch for golf carts) to the top and there you will find a view of the Sand Canyon Reservoir<\/span> as below.\u00a0 Additional notes below the two reservoir photos.\u00a0 Binoculars essential.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Sand<\/a>Here’s a view of the Sand Canyon Reservoir at the top of the walk path stemming from the parking lot.<\/div>\n
\"Sand<\/a>Note – the area is marked not to go past this point into the reservoir area.\u00a0 Please obey all rules and sign postings of the Irvine Water District<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

As you head back down to the parking lot, keep an eye out for a driveway that veers off to the left.\u00a0 It’s just before the parking lot.<\/p>\n

Here’s a photo to further illustrate:<\/p>\n

\"Strawberry<\/a><\/p>\n

Note 3 markers above:\u00a0 Park Here, Driveway and View Point<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I have offered this “driveway” location as it was the most active for perching birds.\u00a0 I might also recommend just on the opposite side of this location, adjacent to where your car is parked, was also quite active – just behind the tee off area for the #1 hole.<\/p>\n

Here’s my eBird list <\/a>from this day (July 9, 2014)<\/p>\n
