South Shore - Playground to Burkett Park + Roadrunner Loop

Found a Seed
This male White Crowned Sparrow found a somewhat desiccated seed pod to eat. The red really popped and caught my eye when he jumped into the small tree.

Leg 1 -  Playground parking Area > Tasajilla Flats > Nature Trail > Lanky Lackey > WS to LL Connector > Burkett Park    3.6 miles

Leg 2 -  Burkett Park > Winding Snake > Chaparral > Playground parking Area       2.9 miles

Leg 3 -  Playground Parking Area > Roadrunner Loop > Playground Parking Area   3.0 miles

Temp started at 51 and ended at 81.  Mostly sunny with haze then partly cloudy.  Steady 10-15mph West wind increasing to 20-25mph while on Leg 3.

East hike on dry trails.  Only animals spotted were a few deer in a few places.  The birds are singing for mates and the agarita bushes are covered with yellow flowers releasing a heady scent.  A few people were on the trails but it was not crowded by any stretch of the imagination.
