1st hike of 2022!
Easy hike along dry, easy to see and traverse trails. No animals spotted but I saw some birds including a Kestrel (photo attached). The Kestrel was at Cougar Overlook and landed on a tree. A Mockingbird landed by him and when the Kestrel lifted off so did the Mocker. The Kestrel flipped upside down ready for the Mocker's attack but the Mocker went in the opposite direction.
