While I didn't see any migrating species at centennial woods, I did observe some year-round resident species such as the Herring Gull, American Crow, and Black-capped Chickadee. These species forgo migration because it is energetically expensive and they have a reliable food source in their native habitats that is sufficient in aiding them throughout the seasons. This can lead to adaptations in foraging methods, sexual selection, and nesting behaviors due to the changing conditions throughout the year for such species.
