Thurs. 4 May
7:15-9:30am

Got back from AZ yesterday and so skipped work today to make
a morning visit to Radnor Lake.  I did not get as early as 
start as usual since waking up at 6:30 am today was 4:30 am 
Tucson and body time.  I had to recalibrate my ears
to eastern bird songs and calls.  Thick clouds were all around
but no rain.  I walked from the West Parking Lot to Long Bridge
and back.  A ranger told me that Walden's Puddle had released
a COMMON LOON on the lake a day or two ago, but I did not see 
it.  

I saw or heard 11 species of warblers with a TENNESSEE singing
as soon as I stepped out of the car.  Also in evidence were 
plenty of SWAINSON'S THRUSHes and VEERYs.  A SPOTTED SANDPIPER
was bobbing at the dam.  I enjoyed hearing ACADIAN FLYCATCHERs
and seeing a BLUE-HEADED VIREO for the first time this season.  
All in all a nice morning.

Spotted Sandpiper 1
Yellow billed Cuckoo 1
Veery 4
Swainson's Thrush 9+
White-eyed Vireo 4
Blue-headed Vireo 1
