Radnor Lake State Natural Area Davidson Co. Nashville, TN Thurs. 2007 September 13 07:15-10:00am partly cloudy but cool I decided to treat myself to a birthday morning walk at Radnor Lake. After leaving the west parking lot I soon caught up to Kevin Bowden, who had already been hiking the trails and heard a ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK. We birded to Long Bridge where Kevin left for other more pressing duties, while I leisurely returned to the parking lot. Although there was nothing particularly unusual, there were plenty of warblers and vireos. I ended the morning with 15 warbler species and 4 vireo species, including several personal "first" fall migrants, BAY-BREASTED WARBLER and OVENBIRD plus PHILADELPHIA and WARBLING VIREOs, for my viewing pleasure. Birds of particular interest included: Blue-gray Gnatcatcher 1 Swainson's Thrush 4 Cedar Waxwing 8 Warbling Vireo 1 Philadelphia Vireo 2 Warblers Blue-winged 3 Golden-winged 3 Tennessee 3 N. Parula 1 Chestnut-sided 8 Magnolia 12 Black-throated Green 4 Bay-breasted 1 Black and White 4 Am. Redstart 8 Ovenbird 1 Common Yellowthroat 2 Hooded 1 Wilson's 2 Canada 1 -- Frank Fekel Tennessee State University Center of Excellence in Information Systems 3500 John A.
