Peter: A little over a month has passed since I visited the park. Today most of the park looked like a ghost town. Upper & lower pools frozen, and lake had only a little section of open water, where all the action was.
My best bird was a single individual of Common Redpoll (photos taken) feeding near lamppost 49.
Other species worth to mention are: Common & Red-breasted Mergansers, Fox Sparrow.
