After returning home this afternoon from out of town, I had a message from  
Sharon Monroe saying she saw 4 Common Loons at Radnor Lake yesterday, April  3. 
 And she got to hear one of them call briefly.  They were first  found 
yesterday by 2 Lipscomb University students who are doing a waterfowl  survey 
at 
Radnor.  Loons are quite uncommon at Radnor, having seen only 2  myself in 25+ 
years of birding there.  And I don't think there's ever been  4 at one time 
there.  I went over this afternoon, and although 3 had left,  there was still 
one 
there in beautiful breeding plumage.  It was in  the middle of the lake and 
then made its way over toward the dam.  It was  still there as of 5:00 PM.
 
I also had my FOS Eastern Kingbird, seen from the road, flycatching  along 
the edge of the lake from a fallen tree.  Tree and Rough-winged  swallows and 
Purple Martins were plentiful, and a loudly singing close Louisiana  
Waterthrush 
was nice to hear.
