Radnor Lake State Natural Area Nashville-Davidson Co. TN Wednesday 04 May 2011 . Today was one of those days where you don't even want to leave the Parking Lot. The 28 birders who joined the NTOS-sponsored Wednesday Walk at Radnor Lake had a hard time being convinced it got much better than what was just outside the Visitor Center. A PHILADELPHIA VIREO, GOLDEN-WINGED WARBLER, BLACKBURNIAN WARBLER,and CAPE MAY WARBLER were just a few of the Parking Lot finds. The group also got a long look at a YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO at the Spillway just after a BALTIMORE ORIOLE had appeared.. AMERICAN REDSTARTS were well-represented this morning. An unusual find for Radnor was a PURPLE FINCH at the Long Bridge. A BROAD-WINGED HAWK flew overhead, a first this year for most of us. We tallied 70 species including 20 warbler species.
