This morning was the last Wednesday walk of the season at 
Radnor Lake for the Nashville chapter of TOS.  The bulk of
neotropical migrants have passed, but there were still a 
few species about.  I saw 6 species of warblers.  YELLOW-
RUMPEDs of course dominated, with the other 5 species,
including MAGNOLIA, being seen as just one or two birds.  
The best of these was a male WILSON'S WARBLER near the dam.  
One BLUE-HEADED VIREO that came to check out the complaints 
of several CAROLINA WRENs near Long Bridge was a nice 
addition.  ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAKs are still coming through 
in numbers with a half dozen individuals found.  The 
chittering of several CHIMNEY SWIFTs was heard.

Winter birds slowly pile up.  About a dozen WHITE-THROATED
SPARROWs were noted plus several RUBY-CROWNED KINGLETS and
a YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER.  There were also 25+ CANADA
GEESE on the lake toward the east end.  

I headed to work before the walk finished so perhaps they
found other birds of interest.
