Radnor Lake State Natural Area
Nashville-Davidson Co., TN
12 April, 2007
About mid-day today I encountered a Swainson's Thrush on Ganier Ridge (not far 
from the TOS Ganier plaque). Earlier, on my way up the ridge I got a good look 
at a Hermit Thrush complete with its rufous tail. When I later saw the 
Swainson's I was expecting another Hermit. But it cooperated long enough for me 
to get a good long look and it was a Swainson's.

Later back down along the lake trail near the Artist and Teacher bench two 
dueling White-eyed Vireos amused me for quite awhile. They darted, they chased, 
and they  gave their harsh scold call when one wasn't trying to out sing the 
other.
