| Trip leader: Richard Peters Recorder: John Henri Rorabeck Photographers: Mary Lou Clark, Guy DiRoma, & Richard Peters |
Date of trip: March 8, 2026 |
| Location: Centennial Park | Number attending: 19 |
| Details: We were hoping that the waterfowl from earlier this week would stick around, but alas, they did not. Highlights include two flocks of tundra swans flying over, many flocks of blackbirds, the early osprey, and first of year phoebe for many of us. There were no birds on the water near the dam! | |
