Temps started at 75, ended at 92.  Sunny at first then high whispy clouds.  Steady 5-10mph SSW breeze.  Low humidity.

All trails were dry and easy to traverse with exceptions being in spots due to high vegetation.  Only animals spotted were a few deer and not many birds were out with a few exceptions being a Night Hawk, Vermillion Flycatcher and a family of swallows (photo attached).  There were the usual Mockers and various sparrows as well.  Being Saturday, there were more trail users but never enough to cause a problem. 

BE ADVISED - Take care before sitting at the green metal picnic table & bench located at the junction of Burkett Trail and Potts Creek Trail !  There is an active wasp nest underneath.
