I briefly dropped by Centennial this afternoon.  Some interesting waterfowl,
specifically:

Am. Wigeon  - 1 male
Ring-necked Duck - 1 male
Bufflehead - 3 male, 2 female
Ruddy Ducks - 1 male, 3 female

However, the highlight was a male Rusty Blackbird, among a mixed bag of 
Starlings, Robins and Cedar Waxwings feasting on the abundant fruit on the 
south side of the lake, near where the floats mark off the wildlife area.  
Another spot rich in grapes was hosting a few waxwings.

Hopefully some of this will linger for Sunday's walk, and new stuff will drop
in on the northerly winds.   Meet at the west entrance parking lots, 08:00.
