Temp started at 44, ended at 50. Sunny w/steady 10mph Northerly wind.
Easy hike along damp to dry trails. All trails easy to see and traverse. Small birds were visible this morning as well as a small group of deer. There were more people on the trails than expected but it was not a large number, just more than expected.
LOTS of White Crowned Sparrows (photo attached). Also saw Mockingbirds, Pryluxoiia, a Loggerhead Shrike and a few Golden Fronted Woodpeckers. Weather was cool and the wind was constant but it was still a very nice hike.
NOTES -
Water, shade, info kiosk, toilets and a bicycle repair station are available at Playground parkign rea.
