Radnor Lake State Natural Area Nashville-Davidson Co, TN 30 September 2009 After two rainy Wednesdays in a row, the bright, clear, sunny morning brought out some 20 birders who spent part of their morning with the Nashville Chapter of TOS on their regular Wednesday morning walk at Radnor Lake. One of the highlights was a very cooperative Blackburnian Warbler that leisurely fed and flitted along the dam. A Philadelphia and Yellow-throated Vireo also appeared in the same area. Missing, however, was the large number of Magnolia Warblers that had been present in the previous few days. Here's a list of the birds observed: Number of species: 43 Canada Goose Wood Duck Great Blue Heron Green Heron Black Vulture Killdeer Yellow-billed Cuckoo Chimney Swift Belted Kingfisher Red-bellied Woodpecker Downy Woodpecker Hairy Woodpecker Northern Flicker Pileated Woodpecker Eastern Wood-Pewee Eastern Phoebe White-eyed Vireo Yellow-throated Vireo Philadelphia Vireo Red-eyed Vireo Blue Jay Carolina Chickadee Tufted Titmouse White-breasted Nuthatch Carolina Wren Eastern Bluebird Swainson's Thrush Gray Catbird Cedar Waxwing Tennessee Warbler Northern Parula Chestnut-sided Warbler Magnolia Warbler Black-throated Green Warbler Blackburnian Warbler Black-and-white Warbler American Redstart Common Yellowthroat Summer Tanager Northern Cardinal Rose-breasted Grosbeak Common Grackle American Goldfinch We will meet again next Wednesday morning, 07 October, at 7:30am in the West Parking Lot at the Visitor's Center. All are welcome.
