[TN-Bird] Radnor Lake Connecticut and Mourning Warblers

Radnor Lake State Natural Area
Nashville-Davidson Co. TN
Monday 22 May 2006
Today when the rain stopped and the skies cleared about noon in Nashville, I 
went out to Radnor Lake to see what might be there. At the Long Bridge in the 
adjacent brush just to the west, I heard a "jit" call and saw movement at waist 
level in the vegetation. Then out popped a male Mourning Warbler in the 
sunlight. He moved about for a minute or so at the edge before disappearing 
into the brush.

Then about 10 minutes later, just east the spillway on the Lake Trail, a bird 
flitted across the path from left to right landing in a tangle of dead bush 
honeysuckle. I had been hearing a Carolina Wren and assumed that was the bird I 
had just seen flying. However, I could not resist putting my binoculars on the 
bird and, to my surprise, there was a Connecticut Warbler out in the open. The 
bird then slowly walked back into the depths of the tangled dead wood and 
disappeared.

Other warblers seen were Magnolia Warbler and Canada Warbler.
