[Frank Fekel <fekel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Spent yesterday, Wed., morning birding under cloudy skies at Radnor
and got a nice number of migrants before heading to work.

Thus, this morning, Thurs, Oct. 2, I decided to scout for the
NTOS meeting walks.  With temps in the 40s and clear skies it was
an excellent morning.  I birded my usual route from the west parking
lot to Long Bridge and back.  I had several nice flocks of warblers
and there was plenty of activity in the sunlight.  The result was 
15 species of warbler.

The male BLACK-THROATED BLUE WARBLER continued in the same area as 
yesterday, perhaps 100 yards along the lake trail from the dam.  While
enjoying it, I heard a chip from time to time by the water's edge but was 
unable to locate a bird.  On my return to the area to the BLACK-THROATED 
BLUE spot, perhaps an hour later, I got my best bird of the day, a
MOURNING WARBLER that nicely showed itself.  My brain put 2 + 2 together,
and I realized that this was the bird I had heard but had not seen 
earlier at the water's edge.
