Radnor Lake
Davidson Co
 
David Kirschke, a new NTOS member from East TN, and I walked around the  lake 
this morning and had our first of season sightings of Prothonotary Warbler  
(1), N. Parula (1-2), Blue-headed Vireo (3) and Chimney Swift (2).   David 
spotted the silent Prothonotary, and we watched it for several minutes  along 
the 
road, below eye level as it caught and tried to deal with a large  insect.  
The Parula also came down low for us as it sang.  The Common  Loon that was 
there the last 3 days, was not there today.  Neither was the  Eastern Kingbird. 
 
There was one Horned Grebe and a couple  Pied-billeds.  David spotted 4 Brown 
Creepers, an unusually high  number.  There was a Barred Owl at the east end, 
and other warblers  included enumerable Yellow-rumps, Black-throated Green (3) 
and Louisiana  Waterthrush (2).  Gnatcatcher numbers have really increased, as 
well  as singing Ruby-crowned Kinglets.  Camille Crenshaw and her friend Bill 
 also had a Wild Turkey along the dam road.  Sharon Monroe had a N. Parula  
and an Osprey there on April 4.
