A good hike with a surprising number of people on the trails. Watched at Cougar Overlook, a Kestrel search for prey. Quite a few small birds and a couple of mice were also spotted.
While on Flintstone Trail, I thought I smelled agarita blooms so I looked around and found a bush that is beginning to flower (photo attached). In my mind, this is too early for blooms but it has been a warm and dry Winter in San Angelo and the proof is on the bush.
