About 20 birders met in the West  Parking Lot of Radnor Lake State Natural
area this morning for the final NTOS Wednesday morning walk for the Fall
2009 season. The weather could not have been better.
 
A BLUE-HEADED VIREO immediately got our attention before we even left the
parking lot. The most numerous warbler species was the YELLOW-RUMPED
WARBLER; these were present throughout most of the walk. However at least
three BAY-BREASTED WARLBERS were present and BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLERS
were also well-represented. One PALM WARBLER made himself immediately
recognizable by his tail pumping on a branch over the lake. We saw all
woodpecker species except the Red-Headed Woodpecker, which is uncommon at
Radnor. A WINTER WREN was seen along the trail. One very odd wren got our
attention at the spillway. It looked at first like a Bewick's Wren, with a
pale whitish breast, but was clearly singing like a Carolina Wren. Both
SUMMER and SCARLET TANAGERS appeared almost side by side for us, allowing
for a good study. Several WHITE-THROATED SPARROWS were heard, a signal that
cooler weather is really here to stay. 
 
The Nashville Chapter of TOS will resume the Wednesday Radnor Walks in April
2010. Thanks to all who participated this fall.
