This morning at Radnor Lake I saw 30+ PALM WARBLERS. They were everywhere along 
the Lake Trail and on the South Lake Trail-on the ground, at mid levels and at 
higher levels. Most were western subspecies, but a few were quite yellow. If I 
wasn't sure of the song of the Palm Warbler, I am now as most were singing as 
well.
At the first bridge after the spillway along the Lake Trail a group of Palm 
Warblers was splashing in the little creek. When I got my binoculars on them, I 
realized that one of them was not one of them--it was a NASHVILLE WARBLER. I 
spent almost ten minutes watching it splash and bathe until it was a soaking 
mess. Finally, it hopped up on a branch, shook itself off and flew back into 
the brush.

A minute later, I thought I heard a PRAIRIE WARBLER singing, but since I was 
not in good Prairie Warbler habitat, I hesitated. But sure enough, there was 
movement and it was a Prairie Warbler.

Other birds that I got good looks at include:

Louisiana Waterthrush
Prothonotary Warbler
Hooded Warbler
Red-eyed Vireo
White-eyed Vireo
Summer Tanager
Broad-winged Hawk


Birds heard, but not seen:

Kentucky Warbler
Blue-winged Warbler
Scarlet Tanager


Most of the other suspects were present including lots of YELLOW-RUMPED 
WARBLERS.
