The fine weather bought 25 birders to Radnor Lake this morning for some
pretty good birding. As we were gathering in the parking lot, a RED-HEADED
WOODPECKER, a rare sighting at Radnor Lake, flew high overhead. We got all
but one expected vireo species and both YELLOW-THROATED VIREO and
BLUE-HEADED VIREO gave us opportunities for good looks. Warbler species were
also well-represented (13 species),  including 7 NASHVILLE WARBLERS,
outnumbering even the YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS.  BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLERS
were singing again after their absence last week.  The LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH
that has in past weeks cooperated so well by the Long Bridge was in full
view again today, even signing from the ground. A pair of SUMMER TANAGERS
perched high in a fully-blooming Honey locust Tree--the red and yellow birds
among the white blooms against a blue sky was unbeatable. At the end of the
trail by the road we spotted a BARRED OWL and heard a WOOD THRUSH singing in
the distance.
