7:00-9:30 am
partly cloudy and rather windy and chilly
Decided to do a scouting trip at Radnor Lake for tomorrow's bird
count. I walked from the West Parking Lot to Long Bridge and back.
Jan Shaw caught up to me after the dam. Although it was very windy,
there was some activity and a couple hot spots, but the very
numerous migrants from early in the week have mostly moved on.
Warbler diversity and numbers were down substantially as were
thrush numbers. We only got SWAINSON'S THRUSH, no VEERY or
GRAY-CHEEKED. Between us we had just 9 warbler species, the most
common of which was MAGNOLIA. We did have 2 MOURNING WARBLERs,
one near the Ranger residence and a second at the first bench past
the deck on the Lake Trail. Coming back from Long Bridge we
heard a weakly singing CONNECTICUT WARBLER perhaps 50-75 yards
eastward of the second MOURNING WARBLER spot. Its song was
half-hearted being just 3 or 4 short pieces and it was in dense
cover as usual.
Species of interest included:
Spotted Sandpiper 1 continuing near the dam
Swainson's Thursh 8+
Philadelphia Vireo 2
Tennessee Warbler 5
Nashville Warbler 1
Magnolia Warbler 8
Black-throated Green Warbler 1
Prothonotary Warbler 1
Ovenbird 1
Connecticut Warbler 1 heard only
Mourning Warbler 2
Canada Warbler 2
Red-breasted Grosbeak 2
