7-9 am
cloudy and cold with drizzle and light rain

Fall certainly blew in this morning!

Hoping that the cold, cold front would bring a new mix
of birds to Radnor Lake, I walked from the west parking
lot to Long Bridge and back for 2 hours.  Unfortunately,
I found only two warbler flocks and one was mostly
YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERs, which have now taken over.
I found only 5 species of warblers for the morning.

There was a substantial flock of AM. ROBINs with a single
ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK at the dam and ranger's house, 
and a small group of INDIGO BUNTINGs near the
west parking lot.  Best bird was perhaps a GRAY-CHEEKED 
THRUSH at Long Bridge.  I also had a fly-over 
RINGED-BILLED GULL.  My short trek produced no ducks.

I hope tomorrow's fall count in the Nashville area
will produce a greater variety of species.
