My favorite place to walk in Golden Gate Park has been up to this point Stow Lake; in the early morning it is quiet, smells wonderful, and it is bathed in the light of dawn. Unfortunately, it doesn't have any roosters. As far as I know, the only place where these animals live in the park is the North Lake, and this is also one of my park spots. Obviously, they must have been introduced there by some person for some reason and seem out of place in this environment, they do appear to have adjusted, and at least one park visitor seems to feed them as I often see grain on a nearby rock when I go to see them. Besides the two roosters that I see at this part of the lake, there are many large raccoons, squirrels, and it is also popular with red-winged blackbirds, especially just before dark.
There is a small farm at my job for the residents of the nursing facility to visit, and it is here that I have come to appreciate roosters, chickens and their behavior. They seem quite inquisitive, playful, and enjoy each other's company, from what I've seen. Maybe I visit them to remind me of the things that are important to me, too.
