Temp started at 50, ended at 80.  Sunny with a 10-15mph Westerly breeze.

Relaxing hike along dry and familiar trails.  NUMEROUS deer were seen south of Burkett Park.  Quite a few birds were out as well including hawks (photo attached), a Great Horned owl, various small birds and some large flocks of black birds traveling to the lake. 

Nothing really happened - it was just a relaxing hike.
