[TN-Bird] NTOS Radnor Lake Wednesday Walk results

Radnor Lake State Natural Area
Nashville-Davidson County, TN
September 21,  2011


Today's light rain showers and cloudy skies discouraged neither birders
(@20) nor birds (@48 species) as we enjoyed an unusually productive morning
at Radnor Lake for the NTOS-sponsored Wednesday morning walk. We tallied 10
WARBLER SPECIES, including numerous BLACK-AND-WHITE WARBLERS and MAGNOLIA
WARBLERS. Some of us got to see A GOLDEN-WINGED WARBLER again this week and
by the Long Bridge we were treated to a fairly cooperative CANADA WARBLER. A
HOODED WARBLER was also spotted there. PHILADELPHIA VIREOS were also
well-represented this morning. The two DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANTS were
spotted perched high in a dead tree on the opposite side of the lake from
the group. A pair of very fine SUMMER TANAGERS were seen in the area behind
the house by the spillway.
Thanks to all who participated  by adding their spotting and identification
skills. Below  is an accounting of what we observed:
