C. Mergs are rather unusual at Centennial, but since I found Triadelphia completely frozen at the dam as of about 10:45, one on Centennial isn't surprising. Also present at Centennial were Black Duck 1 (roosting on ice edge) Canvasback 6 (3 male, 3 female) Ruddy Duck 25 (some are getting very ruddy!) Plus Canada Geese, a lot Mallards, a few Ring-blled Gulls, maybe about 2 dozen. And just about every place I've been in the past two days, I've seen or heard Robins.
