Radnor Lake State Natural Area Davidson Co. Nashville, TN Tuesday, 2008 April 8 7-9 am cloudly, breezy This Tuesday morning I toured Radnor Lake under cloudy slightly depressing skies. Nevertheless, my morning soon brightened as I found my first of the season male HOODED WARBLER. Although silent, it stayed in view for a minute or so. I walked up Otter Creek Road and at the corner of the lake where the dirt road leads to the dam, I spotted 4 PINE SISKINs, who playfully chased each other from tree to tree. An EASTERN PHOEBE greeted me at the dam. I found more RUBY CROWNED KINGLETs about today than YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERs. At the east end of the lake I spied a BARRED OWL near the bridge. Finally, a single HORNED GREBE and a female BUFFLEHEAD were diving for food in the east end of the lake. -- Frank Fekel Tennessee State University Center of Excellence in Information Systems 3500 John A.
