5-14-08 Radnor Lake Davidson Co. The rains stopped just as we started up the road, and birdsong and sightings were numerous along the dam and behind the ranger's house. It took us 2 hours just to get past the spillway, and we stopped at the overlook on the Lake Trail and turned back at 10:30! We only added 2 warbler species to the list Frank Fekel already reported, Palm and Louisiana Waterthrush. One of the adult Bald Eagles flew real close to us on the dam and we watched it catch a fish. We enjoyed great looks at lots of Blackpolls, Blackburnian, Bay-breasted and Chestnut-sideds, and had a fairly cooperative singing and preening Mourning Warbler at the point in front of the ranger's house. Others besides warblers included: wild turkey red-shouldered hawk swift ruby-throated hummingbird pair of pileated on the ground feeding pewee phoebe great crested flycatcher white-eyed vireo Philadelphia vireo red-eyed vireo n. rough-winged swallow gnatcatcher bluebird gray-cheeked thrush Swainson's thrush wood thrush catbird rose-breasted grosbeak indigo bunting Jan Shaw Nashville, TN **************Wondering what's for Dinner Tonight?
