Radnor Lake State Natural Area Davidson Co. Nashville, TN Monday October 2, 2006 7:20-9:50 am partly cloudy I returned yesterday from my 10 day trip to SE Arizona and had to flip a mental switch when I headed out to Radnor Lake this morning to see eastern migration. I found substantial activity (and could have used another observer to sort through the birds at times) with a number of mixed flocks of migrants, although diversity might have been a bit better. There was a significant movement of TANAGERs, both SCARLET and SUMMER. Numbers of SWAINSON'S THRUSHes are still strong, and plenty of ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAKs were around as well. By far the most numerous warbler was MAGNOLIA although there were at least a half dozen YELLOW-RUMPEDs. All in all I had 11 warbler species with lone GOLDEN-WING and WORM-EATING being highlights. It was a good vireo morning as well with 4 species seen. Found my first of the fall GOLDEN-CROWNED KINGLET. Best water bird was a DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANT swimming and diving for food in the lake. Birds of signigicant interest included: Double-crested Cormorant 1 Eastern Wood-Pewee 3 Eastern Phoebe 1 Golden-crowned Kinglet 1 Ruby-crowned Kinglet 2 Swainson's Thrush 12 Cedar Waxwing 8 White-eyed Vireo 1 Yellow-throated Vireo 1 Philadelphia Vireo 4 Red-eyed Vireo 1 Blue-winged Warbler 1 Golden-winged Warbler 1 Tennessee Warbler 1 Chestnut-sided Warbler 3 Magnolia Warbler 24+ Yellow-rumped Warbler 6 Black-throated Green Warbler 5 Black-and-white Warbler 3 American Redstart 4 Worm-eating Warbler 1 Common Yellowthroat 3 Summer Tanager 10 Scarlet Tanager 4 Rose-breasted Grosbeak 10 Indigo Bunting 3 -- Frank Fekel Tennessee State University Center of Excellence in Information Systems 3500 John A.
