This Kingbird swooped down to inspect me as I hiked along Burkett Trail.

Leg 1 -  Burkett park > Burkett Trail > Trailhead to Trailhead (N) > service road (SW) > Playground (S) > Bell's Point > Playground (S) > Potts Creek (NE) > Burkett Trail > Burkett Park       4.9 miles

Leg 2 -  Playground parking area > Roadrunner Loop > Playground parking area    3.1 miles

Temp started at 78, ended at 90.  Mostly sunny with high, whispy clouds.  Slightly humid.  SSW breeze at 0-5mph.

A different hike today so I could hike the trails in a different order. Animals spotted were jack rabbits, cottontail rabbits, javelinas and deer.  Birds were also present including an Oriole that I hadn't seen in a while.  This Kingbird looked regal so I had to take his photo (attached).

All trails were easy to see and traverse: for the most part, they were visibly groomed.  Nothing unusal to report - this was just a pleasant hike going in a different order.

NOTES -

Water, shade and info kiosk available at Bell's Point.
