Radnor Lake State Natural Area Davidson Co. Nasvhille, TN Thursday 2008 May 15 6:45-9:00 am Rain Thursday morning I looked at the weather map radar and decided to give Radnor one more chance before heading out of state. Unfortunately, the rain drops were much more frequent than yesterday and I still heard no CONNECTICUT WARBLER. However, there was still plenty of action going on. With low overcast skies, near the dam I very briefly pished and found myself surrounded by a mixed flock of 9 different warbler species, who came to see what all the fuss was about. I was surprised at the number of folks who enjoy walking in the rain. One was fellow birder Ken Oeser whom I met on the trail, and who told me that the MOURNING WARBLER at the dam was still present. As we were talking near the deck on the Lake Trail, I heard and then got a brief look at another MOURNING. In all I found 14 species of warblers and ran into a pair of birders from Alabama who found BLACKBURNIAN and HOODED WARBLERs that I missed. There were plenty of RED-EYED VIREOs as well. Warblers: Tennessee 5 N. Parula 2 Yellow 2 Chestnut sided 1 Magnolia 4 Black-throated Green 1 Bay-breasted 4 Blackpoll 7 Am.
