There were 15 still present at 2:30 p.m. Centennial hosted a few notables- WINTER WREN by the "wood duck pond." WOOD DUCKS and HOODED MERGANSER by the dam end pond. PURPLE MARTIN, BARN, and TREE SWALLOWS by the wildlife end. A SAVANNAH SPARROW in an ornamental tree by the lower parking lot (as migrants they will turn up in odd places!). A single RED-BREASTED MERG. male still hanging on. A flyover CHIPPING SPARROW at work. On Saturday I had 2 adult BALD EAGLES flyover at work also.
