Temp started at 62, ended at 70. CLoudy with periods of light rain, heavy south winds with strong gusts.
A short but enjoyable hike along familiar trails that were dry and easy to traverse. Rain started when we were at the River Bend Campground so shelter was easy to obtain. While there, the season's first Scissortail Flycatchers were spotted as were the season's first Black Chinned Hummingbird AND a single yellow prickly pear cactus blossom.
