A cool and beautiful walk along the river this morning.
Goats returned to eat the weeds along the American River Parkway. I first saw them on a Friday afternoon behind a series of fences alongside the bike trail nearby Bannister Park that leads to the American River. Hundreds of them crowded in a very small space! They stay for a week and move on.
Second week they were eating weeds on top of Fair Oaks Bluff. Goats pictured in the photo are eating weeds alongside Bridge Street. Today the owner was loading all of them back into their trailer on their way to the next meal.
Fair Oaks Bridge is covered with dark berries falling from trees growing on each side of the bridge. The bridge looks like it has freckles. My walk ended with roosters calling good morning, searching for friendship or food – not sure which?
The video below shows the goats roaming the area nearby Bannister Park. Watch for the dog directing the goats and one goat stopping to watch me.
