It’s not just the Great Blue Herons that are nesting and raising babies at Stow Lake right now. The Canadian Geese are busy too. Thanks to Thomas K. Pendergast for snapping this cute pic of a mom with her babes.
“What’s amazing to me is this is really the newest generation of dinosaurs, that is, birds in general are direct descendants of the dinosaurs who managed to survive the asteroid 65 million years ago. With these little goslings I can see them as tiny baby raptors,” Thomas wrote.

They are not Canadian Geese. They are Canada Geese. It’s a name, not a nationality. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada_Goose
Really? I was there the other day and I could have sworn I heard a Canadian accent from one of them… 😉

I left San Francisco about 25 years ago. This photo reminds me of all the good times I had at Stow Lake with friends and family riding the various boats around the lake.
