Fairly cool day for a hike.  I didn't start until 10:00 and was surprised to see a feral cat on the nortern end of Tasajilla Flats and about 1/2 mile further on the Nature Loop, I saw a bobcat walking away from me.  Birds were all over the place and I'm seeing more hawks out and about.    I also saw four moutain bikers which also surprised me.

All in all a nice day to go for a hike.
