Temps started at 41, ended at 45. Sunny with a few wispy clouds, steady 20+ mph WNW wind.
Last hike of 2018 on wet and muddy trails. Nobody else on the trails and no other cars in the parking lots when I arrived or departed. The wind kept the birds low to the ground except for a group of Crested Caracaras flying high and away from me (photo attached). This is the second time I've seen these birds at the park; although the photo is not the best, it is proof they were there!
