[fekel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Radnor Lake State Natural Area
Davidson Co.
Nashville, TN
Monday 2007 10 September

7:15-9:30 am 
overcast, misty, moist, humid

Finally, the real begining of significant numbers of migrants
through Radnor.  Instead of having to walk all the way around
the lake as I did twice last week, I only walked from the West
Parking Lot to Long Bridge and back.  Although I found 12 
species of warblers, plenty of SWAINSON'S THRUSHes and a VEERY,
by far the best bird of the morning was a first winter LARK
SPARROW, my first at Radnor Lake.  It was seen on my return to 
the dam area in front of and then to the Otter Creek Road side 
of the Ranger's house.  Best of the warblers was a male 
BLACKBURNIAN and 2 male GOLDEN-WINGED WARBLERs.
