In addition to what Ted mentioned, the Reservoir and Sparrow Ridge seemed to be the birdiest places I visited, the most noteworthy things being on the Reservoir being a Laughing Gull, (good bird for Central) and my first Hooded Merganser in the park this fall. 2 Pied Billed Grebes were also present among the 120ish Ruddy Ducks and 50ish Northern Shovelers also at the south end of the the Reservoir. Sparrow Ridge still posessed about 40 chipping sparrows, but no other species besides song and white-throated were noted.
