clear, very chilly

I enticed Jan Shaw to come for a walk in the cold crisp air
at Radnor Lake this Friday morning.  However, we both ended up 
trying to stay in the sunshine as much as possible, so we only 
went from the west parking lot to the deck along the lake trail
and back rather than to long bridge.  We got 9 species of
warblers, with BLACK THROATED GREENs rebounding today,
having numbers similar to those of MAGNOLIAs and so reaching
second place.  Four NASHVILLE WARBLERs were also nice to
see.  There was a large movement of about 10 
ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAKs near the dam, and later ranger
Brian Becker told us he had several more at the east end
of the lake.  We ended up with 3 swallow species, with 
a group of 12+ TREEs coming in along with 5 N. ROUGH-WINGED,
and a single BARN.  Perhaps a dozen CHIMNEY SWIFTs also 
swarmed over the lake.  Winter visitors included RUBY CROWNED
KINGLET, YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER, and our first WINTER WREN
of the season.  Despite the cold, we certainly enjoyed the
morning.
