[TN-Bird] Radnor Lake goldeneye

Radnor Lake State Natural Area
Davidson Co.
Nashville, TN
Dec. 21, 2004
7-8:30 am
Mostly cloudy

I walked from the West Parking lot along Otter Creek Road toward
the east end and then returned west on the Lake Trail, a slight
departure from my usual route.  My primary quarry was the female 
COMMON GOLDENEYE, which was found last Saturday on the Nashville
CBC.  There were a modest number of ducks, mostly GADWALL, and I 
had no luck finding the goldeneye from the road.  To my surprise I 
spotted it when I was looking through the trees from the Artist 
and Teacher bench.  It was in the back cove area and could just 
barely be seen from the deck farther along the trail.  NO 
YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERs or CEDAR WAXWINGs were seen or heard.  
Work continues on the bridge at the dam, which is currently off
limits.  Ducks and other birds of interest included:

Pied-billed Grebe 1
Am. Black Duck 6+
Mallard 8
Gadwall  60+
American Wigeon 7
Ring-necked Duck 28 
Common Goldeneye 1 female
Bufflehead 1 pair
Ruddy Duck 2

Brown Creeper 1
Winter Wren 1
