Geocache Description:


North Lake - Golden Gate Park
Fish Ye Not
Redevelopment projects have not been kind to the environment of North Lake. Its habitat value has crashed, due in large part to the removal of vegetation and lack of water. However, Red-winged Blackbirds and Song Sparrows still nest in the marshes, and during fall and winter Mallards inhabit the open water of this lake, where they are often joined by Double-crested Cormorants, Pied-billed Grebes, American Coots, and a variety of gulls. A Great Egret and a Great Blue Heron can usually be found along the shoreline. Take the paved path around the lake to the right. Migrant warblers are most often found in shrubs and trees along the north end of the lake. A bridge at the southwest corner of the lake marks a spot to look for Northern Waterthrush, provided the lake's depth is high enough to flood the stream bed west of the bridge. Just to the north, check the island to the right for migrants in spring and fall. It has been an excellent site for birding in the past, and it can be expected to be so again once the lake's artificial habitat is stabilized. This southern part of the lake has produced virtually all western migrants expected along the coast, as well as such rarities as a Philadelphia Vireo, Northern Parulas, and a Prothonotary Warbler. Other islands should be checked for roosting ducks and herons. This lake provides night sanctuary for several hundred ducks which roost here during the winter.

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