Radnor Lake State Natural Area
Nashville-Davidson Co. TN
22 April 2009
Twenty-five birders started off this morning from the West Parking Lot at
Radnor Lake State Natural Area in search of the 12 warbler species --among
others-- that Jan Shaw had reported yesterday. We got 'em. Several Hooded
Warblers and a Prothonotary along the road were the most cooperative of the
warblers. But we also got some interesting glimpses of a Broad-winged Hawk,
a Northern Shoveler (swimming with a Mallard), a Great Crested Flycatcher,
and our first look at a male Rose-breasted Grosbeak for the season, which
had first alerted us by its "hick" call, which always reminds me of tennis
shoes squeaking on a shiny, polished gym floor. While not everyone was able
to stay for the whole morning, a group of the hard core finally made it back
to the starting point just shy of 12:00 noon. The 54 species we observed are
as follows:
