Temp started at 73, ended at 90. Overcast then partly cloudy. Intermittent light winds.
The trails were dry and easy to traverse, in large part because park personnel have been busy cutting the vegetation and clearing the trails. A case in point is Roadrunner Loop - a month or so ago, the trail had some very overgrown areas but it has been recently groomed and leveled so it was fairly easy to hike along.
Today was also a good day to view the various birds populating the park. Besides the usual birds, I also saw a Painted Bunting, a Vermillion Flycatcher, a few Black Throated Sparrows and a Verdin - the Verdin being the first I've seen since 2015 or 2016.
