The first of four Wednesday morning Radnor Lake Fall bird walks took place
today, September 19th. Nineteen individuals joined NTOS leader Steve
Routledge on what turned out to be a fairly quiet, unseasonably hot day. By
far the three highlights of the day were a Black-billed Cuckoo, who perched in
full view for the group, a most cooperative Worm-eating Warbler who did the
same and nice long looks at a Philadelphia Vireo. Warbler species were hard to
come by on this hot morning with only 3 species being spotted. Swainson’s
Thrushes were plentiful enjoying the many varieties of ripe berries found
trailside leading up to Long Bridge. The complete list can be found below.
The next in the series of walks will take place on Wednesday, September 26th
with NTOS Program Chair, Danny Shelton leading the group. We hope you can join
us.
