Temp started at 47, ended at 80.  Sunny w/light 0-5mph SW breeze changing to 10-15mph West and NW winds.

Easy hike along dry, easy to see and traverse trails.  One white tail deer was spotted and some birds.  LOTS of people on the trails today as it was a Saturday and nice weather, once it warmed up.  Birds were singing for mates, a few were photographed but nothing spectacular (photo attached).  Flowers are appearing, particularly small yellow flowers and small bunches of purple-ish flowers.  The agaritas are still blooming as well.  Overall a pleasant hike.
