Fitness hike at the park - low 70's, partly cloudy and a nice breeze.  Lots of bird activity as the mating season is here.  The Black Throated Sparrow (Photo attached) was singing until I took his picture, then he departed.

Saw quite a few mountain bikers on the slightly muddy trails.  Greetings were exchanged, trail etiquette followed and no bad feelings on either parties.  A few small pieces of trash were picked up but otherwise, an uneventful yet relaxing fitness hike.
