Radnor Lake State Natural Area
Davidson Co.
Nashville, TN
7-9:10 am
mostly cloudy and cool

At Radnor Lake this Thursday I walked from the west parking lot to Long
Bridge and back, looking for late migrants.  Best of the morning was
a quiet YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHER at bench 16, whose yellowish throat
and breast were striking.  I got only a single warbler species, a
BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLER that came in as birds were fussing and
diving at a BARRED OWL perched at Grassy Point near the deck. A lone
SWAINSON'S THRUSH was singing in the woods around Cane Bridge.
Two PHILADELPHIA VIREOs and a SPOTTED SANDPIPER near the dam were also
a nice treat.

Walter S. Davis Blvd Marsh
Davidson Co.
Nashville, TN
9:40-9:50am

One or possibly two BANK SWALLOWs (along with several ROUGH-WINGED and
BARN SWALLOWs) were seen flying over the marsh. This is the third
time over the past several weeks that I've seen at least one BANK
SWALLOW there, so perhaps they are nesting on the banks of the nearby
Cumberland River.
