Radnor Lake State Natural Area
Nashville-Davidson County, TN
October 03, 2012
Under clear skies and brilliant sunshine with mist rising from the lake, 20
birders set off this morning on the NTOS-sponsored walk at Radnor Lake
State Natural Area. As might be expected, MAGNOLIA WARBLERS were in high
numbers, but they were actually outdone by the BLACK-THROATED GREEN
WARBLERS. Several BAY-BREASTED WARBLERS were seen; one along the Lake Trail
was particularly cooperative. A little unusual was a lone female YELLOW
WARBLER spotted in bare branches near the Spillway. A first for this fall
for the group was a GOLDEN-CROWNED KINGLET. Dozens of CHIMNEY SWIFTS flew
out over the lake, swooping down, skimming along the surface for a a second
or two, and rising up only to do it again. A large gathering of
ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAKS was seen near Grassy Point and a few males still
had considerable color.
