The regularly-scheduled Wednesday walk sponsored by the Nashville chapter
of TOS at Radnor Lake State Natural Area in Nashville-Davidson Co. TN did
not take place today, 24 April, due to inclement weather.
The few birders who gathered at 7:30 headed up the road to the dam before
thunder, wind, and rain began in earnest. Along the way they encountered
two GREAT-CRESTED FLYCATCHERS calling from trees near the parking lot. The
YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER that has been present for the last two Wednesdays
was heard again in the woods between the parking lot and the lake. This
bird was heard singing even in the rain, wind and thunder. A TENNESSEE
WARBLER sang repeatedly in the woods near the south end of the dam road and
numerous YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS were singing as they flitted about. A pair
of AMERICAN COOTS swam near the lake shore. At that point a couple rolls of
thunder, dark clouds and the sound of approaching rain ended the walk.
We will just have to hope for better conditions next week.
