[TN-Bird] Radnor Lake Mourning

Radnor Lake State Natural Area
Davison Co.
Nashville, TN

Although I found my first SWAMP SPARROW of the season at home Sunday 
in Bellevue (on the SW side of Nashville), I decided Monday, 20 Oct., 
that the crisp clear morning was too good to pass up, so I again
detoured to Radnor Lake.  Arriving in the west parking lot by 
7:10 am, the sun was on only the very tops of the trees, and I 
had to wait a few minutes at the dam for the sunlight to bless
that area as well.  I found a few warblers, mostly YELLOW RUMPED,
but I lost the best one before I got a good look at it.  Later I
heard incessant chipping coming from the bushes in front of
the Ranger's house next to the dam.  I was rewarded with good looks 
at an immature female MOURNING WARBLER, perhaps the same one I found 
last Thursday at a location only 40 yards away.  Later I also spotted 
an ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER, perhaps another holdover.

Warblers:
Tennessee 6
Orange-crowned 1
Nashville 1
Magnolia 6
Yellow-rumped 60+
Black-throated Green 5
Mourning 1 im. female

Also seen:
E. Phoebe 1
Ruby-crowned Kinglet 3
Hermit Thrush 2
Rose-breasted Grosbeak 1
White-throated Sparrow 15 (numbers increasing)
