Comments: Walked around Lake Natoma parking lot area again. A few light rain bursts, but nothing uncomfortable. Avoided the wrong turn from last time, and explored a new trail that led back to the beach. It turns out that the migratory patterns of the Alaskan geese have been disrupted by humans feeding them, and they no longer return to Alaska. :( I saw many geese feeding on the grass and beach area, including a flock of American Coots and White Mallards. Walked with a short stride today to not stretch my muscles so much, to experiment with seeing if that helps with recovery. It seemed to help a bit, and it did not scare the geese so much when I did not move so quickly. :) The California Parks agency seems to operate the Lake Natoma area up to Folsom Dam, which might explain why the 23 miles of trail from Nimbus Fish Hatchery to Old Sacramento is different. (?) Saw a Western Scrub Jay, and what seemed to look like this picture of a plain titmouse.
