Nine birders joined the weekly walk at Radnor Lake sponsored by the
Nashville Chapter of TOS this morning. The rain held off and although the
cloudy skies did not provide the best lighting for bird observation, we
still had a good morning with a total of 45 species. We had 10 warbler
species, the most numerous being Magnolia Warblers, followed by American
Redstarts, and a large group of both Wood Ducks and Blue-winged Teal on the
lake. Also an unusual number of Black Vultures began flying in over the
parking lot as we gathered for the walk. Not one of the 10 or so vultures
were Turkey Vultures; they were all Black Vultures. We speculated as to what
might be bringing them in.
