Temps in the low 60's, overcast, windy.

A good hike - saw lots of birds including a male Painted Bunting, a Bullock's Oriole, Lark Sparrows and lots of others.  Also saw a rather large Coachwhip.

The trails are shaggy with new vegetation.  A few sections have been cut because of an organized race yesterday but otherwise, the grass is growing.

Photo attached is of a hawk that has some serious looking damage to his wing yet didn't seem to have any issues with his flying ability.
