The Great Blue Heron Watch is Once Again On in Golden Gate Park
It’s that time of year again when giant herons return to their home island on Stow Lake in Golden Gate Park.
This particular domestic partnership is shown high atop a Monterey Cypress changing shifts as they take turns guarding their nest and hunting for seafood and pocket gophers. Mmmm, pocket gophers.
Come and watch them on Saturdays per this schedule from San Francisco Nature Education when people like naturalist Nancy DeStefanis can hep you to what’s going on and offer you a free close-up view of the avian activities.
See you there!
