clear, cool

Jan Shaw and I had the same idea this morning.  With the passage
of a rapidly moving cold front last night, there might still be
some migrants passing through Radnor Lake this morning.  Although
it was a nice morning, the front did not bring a lot of birds with
it except for the usual, at this time of the season, plethora of 
YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERs.  We saw 4 species of warblers including 
BLACK-THROATED GREEN and MAGNOLIA, but the best bird of the morning 
was a male HOODED WARBLER that we found chipping almost constantly 
like an alarmed chipmunk.  He was a real treat as he fluffed up in 
the sun. Also seen were single GRAY CATBIRD and WHITE-EYED VIREO, plus 
a half dozen ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAKs. We saw all 6 expected
woodpecker species, missing only the rare for Radnor RED-HEADED.
