Radnor Lake State Natural Area
Nashville-Davidson County, TN
07 October 2009
The weather and the birds came together for us today for the weekly walk at
Radnor Lake sponsored by the Nashville Chapter of TOS. In fact, we almost
didn't get out of the parking lot where we gathered as the bird activity was
so good. There, a pair of Baltimore Orioles showed off in the brilliant
morning sun. A fast flying accipiter, which was most likely a Sharp-shinned
Hawk, buzzed overhead. As for Vireos, it was the Philadelphia Story as we
saw four of this species once we did get underway. Twelve warbler species
kept us busy and did not fail to give most of us a good case of warbler
neck. Half way around the lake, some participants continued with their
course around the lake, while others decided to retrace their steps to the
starting point; the latter were rewarded with a look at a Bald Eagle.
