Radnor Lake State Natural Area Davidson Co. Nashville, TN 2007 May 21 6:45 - 9:15 am Score: Connecticut 3 Mourning 1 After taking a week off to visit family in NJ and N. Virginia, I returned yesterday to Nashville and headed out Monday morning to Radnor Lake. I was not disappointed. Less than a minute after arriving at the west parking lot and stepping out of my car, I heard a CONNECTICUT WARBLER singing on the right side of the start of the Spillway Trail. A MOURNING WARBLER gave a brief song near the bench before Cane Bridge as I walked east on the Lake Trail. As usual, I turned around at Long Bridge. Retracing my path toward the dam, I heard a CONNECTICUT just east of the first bench past the deck on the Lake Trail. Not far away at Grassy Point I heard another CONNECTICUT calling from beyond the rail fence. I finished my morning walk with 10 warbler species, but RED-EYED VIREOs were more numerous than any of them. Other highlights included watching a CEDAR WAXWING eat berries on the ground, and crows mobbing a RED TAILED HAWK. Birds of interest included: Red-eyed Vireos 7 Warblers: Magnolia 2 Black-throated Green 3 Blackpoll 2 females Am. Redstart 1 female Prothonotary 1 Louisiana Waterthrush 2 Kentucky 1 Connecticut 3 Mourning 1 Canada 2 -- Frank Fekel Tennessee State University Center of Excellence in Information Systems 3500 John A.
