Twenty birders attended the first of the Wednesday Walks for Fall 2011 at
Radnor Lake State Natural Area. Things started slowly but activity began at
the the Spillway. There a confusing fall warbler coyishly teased us until it
finally came out in full view. The consensus was a first-year YELLOW
WARBLER. A short distance later on the Lake Trail was a hot spot with both
GOLDEN-WINGED WARBLER and BLUE-WINGED WARBLER. A BLACKBURNIAN WARBLER
appeared nearby as well as a NORTHERN PARULA. BLACK-AND-WHITE WARBLERS were
well-represented this morning. We also spotted a GRAY-CHEEKED THRUSH near
the Long Bridge. In addition to the numerous BLUE-WINGED TEAL on the lake
were three female NORTHERN SHOVELERS seen at close range.
