I got up at 5:30 and went out to the American River Bend Park. Not a lot to see out there today, but I did get to see a HUGE garter snake, and some ducks and geese with their babies. It bothered me, though, that the birds let me get to within about 5 feet of them and didn’t startle. It’s not good for them to be so complacent around humans. And someone had left seed and bread for them on the shore… which is probably by the snake was down there. Humans bait the birds, and then the snake comes in and picks off the babies… Stupid humans… On my way out of the park I came across a male mule deer in his velvet. It looked like he was working on a pretty big rack so he must be well over 2 years old…
