Temp started at 29, ended at 50. Sunny with a few clouds, steady wind with gusts from the SW.

A short and easy hike along dry and easy to see trails.  Saw a small family of javelinas (photo attached), a few deer who survived last weeks hunt and a Loggerhead Shrike.  Cold and wind kept most of the animals and birds away.  A short but enjoyable walk in the park.
