Radnor Lake State Natural Area
Davidson Co.

I decided to see if the cooler temps had brought in any birds, and I wasn't 
disappointed.  Some of the highlights include 17 species of warblers with 
point-blank looks at Cerulean and Worm-eating on Ganier Ridge, 3 Red-headed 
Woodpeckers together on the same dead snag near Grassy Point, and 4 swallow 
species perched together on some dead limbs sticking out of the lake (Tree, 
Rough-winged, Barn, and Cliff).  I also had a lone Purple Finch along Otter 
Creek Rd near the dam.  I ended the morning with 60 species including several 
FOY's for me.  Full list below.
