Having been drowned out at Radnor Lake yesterday, an eclectic group of
Nashville area birders descended on Radnor this Thursday morning to
look for warblers and whatever else might drop out of the sky.  I saw
or heard 17 warbler species during my 3 hour stay, and others had at
least four species that I missed.  Most of the other birders were
still going strong when I had to leave to earn a living.

Best bird of the morning was a MOURNING WARBLER that Jan Shaw initially
heard on our way to Long Bridge but he was too far from the trail
to find.  At Long Bridge my appointment with work forced me to retrace
my steps along the trail and between benches 18 and 19 (closer to 19)
I heard the MOURNING sing again.  After a couple minute wait I
had killer views of the bird when it flew up into a vine at eye
level and posed for a few seconds.  Other warblers of particular
interest were a male WILSON'S, CANADA, BLACKBURNIAN, CERULEAN,
and CAPE MAY.

Tennessee  10+
Yellow   1
Chestnut-sided 5
Magnolia  5
Cape May  1
Yellow-rumped  7
Black-throated Green 2
Blackburnian  1
