Temp started at 44, ended at 54. Sunny with steady 10-15mph North wind with a few stronger gusts.
All trails were dry, easy to see and traverse. A very good hike today even though it was cold and windy. I photographed a female Mountain Bluebird (photo attached) for the first time at the park. I also saw female red shafted Northern Flicker which I normally don't see which was nice. Finally, there was a very large group of 20-30 javelinas on Lanky Lackey. The javelina were of all sizes and ages from very small infants to large adults. I gave them plenty of space and stood still numerous times so they didn't feel threatened.
Deer were also spotted as were more Robins. All in all a very good hike.
