Radnor Lake State Natural Area Davidson Co. Nashville, TN 2009 May 4,5 cloudy, light rain Returning on Sunday afternoon from dry southeast AZ and a successful quest to see the Blue Mockingbird after my business was taken care of, I feel as if I am in the midst of a rain forest at Radnor Lake, with water dripping down from the trees all the time. I birded there for 2-2.5 hours on both Monday and Tuesday. Most species were there both days, but I found Verry only on Monday and a House Wren, Gray-cheeked Thrush, and Rose-breasted Grosbeaks today. I saw or heard 14 warbler species on Monday and 18 today. It was nice to see my first Bay-breasted, Magnolia, and Cerulean for the year. Numbers for the two days will be listed side by side below.
