Temp started at 65, ended at 85.  Overcast then partially sunny with steady 5-10mph SW wind.

Easy hike along dry, easy to traverse, maintained trails.  I saw two large groups of deer at the beginning of the hike but then no other animals were spotted.  Birds were more numerous and I saw a group of Cedar Waxwings near the park entrance on Tasajilla Flats Trail.  Scissortail Flycatchers were spotted in a half a dozen locations and Kingbirds were also spotted.  Numerous flowers of yellow, blue and purple were scattered all along the park area.  Bee bush is just beginning to blossom as well.
