Geocache Description:


Metson Lake - Golden Gate Park
Metson Lake
Metson Lake was named for William H. Metson, a park commissioner at the time of the 1906 earthquake. Metson Lake has lost much of its attraction to birds. Wood Ducks no longer appear regularly in the park, presumably because of breeding habitat loss elsewhere in their range. California Quail are no longer present, most probably because of the number of cats and unleashed dogs in the park. Mallards and wigeons are the most common winter residents. They may be joined from time to time by other ducks, gulls, and a heron or egret. Spring and summer bring out a few swallows. In winter, the nearby woods are good for Hermit and Varied Thrushes, while Pygmy Nuthatches, Downy Woodpeckers, and California Towhees are here year-round.

Cache container is a M258A1 Military Decontamination (Decon) Box.

This cache contains an irwinSports pathtag for FTF.
