Pleasant hike along dry and easy to traverse trails.  Numerous deer were spotted (photo attached) and more than one buck was amongst them.  The temps kept most of the birds our of the air with a few exceptions, notably a Loggerhead Shrike and some Meadowlarks.  Otherwise it was quiet with few birds out.
