Radnor Lake State Natural Area Davidson Co. Nashville, TN Friday 2009 May 15 6:50-9:30 am The ides of May proved providential. As I walked around the lake, two birders reported to me their discovery of singing CONNECTICUT WARBLERs at Radnor Lake this Friday morning, one near Bench 10 along the Lake Trail and another up the road toward the Hall Tract. I managed to hear one of the two and get a brief glimpse of him as he chased another bird. A pair of PROTHONOTARY WARBLERs provided a wonderful splash of color at the start of the road to the dam. After seeing MOURNING WARBLERs for 4 straight days, I did not hear or see one today. Birding was slow around the lake, except for the road toward the Hall Tract, which had a lot of action. Of the 11 species of warblers that I saw or heard, 9 were found along the road toward the Hall Tract. After seeing an adult BALD EAGLE at Radnor the past two days, I missed it this morning. Warblers of interest included Tennessee 1 Magnolia 1 Black throated Green 1 Yellow throated 1 Prothonotary 2 a pair Louisiana Waterthrush 2 Kentucky 1 Connecticut 1 Common Yellowthroat 1 Hooded 1 Canada 1 Frank Fekel Nashville, TN =================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBER===================== The TN-Bird Net requires you to SIGN YOUR MESSAGE with first and last name, CITY (TOWN) and state abbreviation.
