Thurs. 2007 September 13

07:15-10:00am
partly cloudy but cool

I decided to treat myself to a birthday morning walk at Radnor Lake.
After leaving the west parking lot I soon caught up to Kevin Bowden,
who had already been hiking the trails and heard a ROSE-BREASTED 
GROSBEAK.  We birded to Long Bridge where Kevin left for other
more pressing duties, while I leisurely returned to the parking lot.
Although there was nothing particularly unusual, there were plenty 
of warblers and vireos.  I ended the morning with 15 warbler species
and 4 vireo species, including several personal "first" fall migrants,
BAY-BREASTED WARBLER and OVENBIRD plus PHILADELPHIA and WARBLING 
VIREOs, for my viewing pleasure.

Birds of particular interest included:

Blue-gray Gnatcatcher 1
Swainson's Thrush 4
Cedar Waxwing 8
Warbling Vireo 1
Philadelphia Vireo 2
