Just a little followup on the birding at Radnor Lake this morning.  I ran into 
Dave Kirschke at the ranger station and am glad I did.  I asked if he had 
anything good and he said there was the olive-sided flycatcher in the tree we 
were standing under.  Great views of this life bird!  I uploaded a couple 
pictures here:

Generally it was very birdy, but overwhelming with Red-eyed Vireos, Blue-gray 
Gnatcatchers, and Swainson's Thrushes.  The storms last week knocked down a lot 
of trees along the trails, which is great (unless you have to cut them up to 
open the trails again)!  There are a few more decent sized canopy gaps that 
will provide some good habitat in the future.  By good habitat I mean shrubby 
understory that is greatly lacking at Radnor.  The open park-like forest that 
is common at Radnor doesn't support many birds that avoid the canopy.  Some 
good things came out of this disaster.  Now, if I could target a few more tree 
falls to make those gaps bigger.....
 
Great birding,
Scott Somershoe
