Radnor Lake State Natural Area Davidson Co. Nashville, TN Jan Shaw, Elizabeth O'Connor, and several holdovers from the NTOS Wed. walk program birded along with me this Wed. morning, Oct. 22, at Radnor Lake. We found the immature female MOURNING WARBLER silently foraging on the spillway side of the dam, next to the ranger residence around 8 am. Some 90 minutes later it was heard chipping and again seen in the same general area. This warbler apparently has called Nashville home for 7 days. We also got to see a BARRED OWL being dive bombed by a BLUE JAY, most interesting. Aside from several species of warblers, there were not too many migrants of interest, unless you count, dozens of AM. ROBINs and COMMON GRACKLEs as well as ever increasing numbers of WHITE-THROATED SPARROWs .
