Temp started at 58, ended at 80. Sunny, no clouds, very light SW breeze.
An easy, peaceful hike along damp then dry trails. Numerous deer were out and a solitary owl was seen (photo attached) as I drove into the park. Some birds were out but nothing unusual to report; just a pleasant, peaceful hike in the state park with no crowds to disturb me.
