[TN-Bird] glorious MOURNINGs, Radnor Lake, Nashville, TN

Out this morning, Wed. 28 May, with Alex Brown from Boulder,
Colorado.  The weather was excellent, sunny and warming up.
On Monday we only heard MOURNING WARBLERs and Alex wanted 
a life sighting, so we returned today.  This time we got 
much more cooperation.  We saw 2 MOURNINGs at willow point, 
next to the lake across from the Ranger house at the dam.  
A male an female gave us great looks as they foraged in 
the willow at eye level.  The we were triply blessed by a 
male MOURNING who sang just before the Artist and Teacher 
bench along the Lake Trail.  We waited for a couple minutes 
and sure enough, he obliged by giving us excellent looks 
as he foraged through some dead bush honeysuckle branches.  
We also got to hear and see a male CANADA WARBLER near 
long bridge, our second migrating warbler for the day.  
Although there were NO CONNECTICUTs to be found, Alex is 
headed back to Colorado a happy birder.
