Meadowlarks are Winter Visitors at the park and I like seeing the colorful birds.

Leg 1 -  Playground parking area > Horny Toad Trailhead > Horny Toad > Nature Trail > Lanky Lackey > WS to LL Connector > Burkett Park   3.8 miles

Leg 2 -  Burkett Park > Winding Snake > Chaparral > Playground parking area   2.7 miles

Temp started at 42, ended around 65.  Sunny and cold at first then warmed up.

A leisurely hike along dry and familiar trails.  Not much went on but I did see Meadowlarks (photo attached) and Scissortail Flycatchers which were nice.  Otherwise, the trails were dry, easy to see and traverse.  An uneventful but enjoyable hike.

NOTES
