[fekel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Radnor Lake State Natural Area
Davidson Co.
Nashville, TN
Tuesday, 2008 April 8
7-9 am
cloudly, breezy

This Tuesday morning I toured Radnor Lake under cloudy 
slightly depressing skies.  Nevertheless, my morning soon
brightened as I found my first of the season male HOODED 
WARBLER.  Although silent, it stayed in view for a minute
or so.  I walked up Otter Creek Road and at the corner of
the lake where the dirt road leads to the dam, I spotted
4 PINE SISKINs, who playfully chased each other from tree
to tree.  An EASTERN PHOEBE greeted me at the dam.  I
found more RUBY CROWNED KINGLETs about today than 
YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERs.  At the east end of the lake I
spied a BARRED OWL near the bridge.  Finally, a single 
HORNED GREBE and a female BUFFLEHEAD were diving for food 
in the east end of the lake.
