Wednesday 21 April 2010
We had a nice turn out again this Wednesday of roughly 20 birders including
visitors from upstate New York, Indiana, and South Carolina for the
NTOS-sponsored Radnor Lake Walk. We observed large numbers of Blue Jays at
high altitudes flying north in groups of 5-10 at a time. Although we totaled
6 warbler species, with the exception of Yellow-rumped Warblers, they
remained unseen including two different Blue-winged Warblers that sang
close-by, but remained out of view. Even a singing Prothonotary Warbler
remained elusive. A Great Blue Heron flew just a few feet overhead, settled
into a thin tree branch, which wobbled considerably under his weight,
causing him to rise up and fly off to find a more secure spot.
We will meet again next Wednesday, 28 April at 7:30am in the West Parking
lot. All are welcome.
