Radnor Lake State Natural Area
Davidson Co., TN
2017 May 22
Birded Radnor Lake this Monday morning to see if I could find any
lingering migrants. I heard and saw only breeders on this somewhat
slow morning. However, on my way back to my car at the west parking
lot I stopped briefly at the dam again. As I searched for warblers
another birder said she had seen a BLACK-BELLIED WHISTLING DUCK
right next to the edge of the lake. Sure enough it was still there,
standing on a fallen tree trunk only 30-40 feet from the canoe
launch path right in front of the old Visitor's Center/Ranger's
House. Took lots of photos as did several photographers. The bird
fed on plant matter in the water and gave its whistling call once
while I was there. The bird was still at the spot when I left it
at 8:45 am, so perhaps it will hang around for a while.
Thanks to Jim Arnett for getting the word out quickly to others.
