Radnor Lake State Natural Area Davidson Co. Nashville, TN Wed. 2007 April 25 7-9:30 am Having just returned Monday from Dauphin Island, Alabama, and seeing the results of a significant fallout there at the end of last week, I decided to squeeze in a local trip to Radnor Lake before going on a business trip to Tucson, AZ tomorrow. I was not disappointed. The wave of PALM WARBLERs reported yesterday continued. In my trip from the west parking lot to Long Bridge and back I got 20+ individuals. Another birder, who came from the opposite direction, reported at least 30 PALMs by the time he reached Long Bridge. YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERs continued to mass on their way north with 60+ individuals found during my short walk. However, of the 13 species of warblers that I found today, I most enjoyed looking at a singing male CERULEAN WARBLER near the dam. ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAKs also were relatively numerous. HOUSE WRENs were also coming through with 4 seen or heard. WARBLING and BLUE-HEADED VIREOs highlighted a 4 vireo morning. I am sure that the NTOS Wednesday walk group will have more to report. Birds of interest included: Eastern Phoebe 1 House Wren 4 Ruby-crowned Kinglet 3 Swainson's Thrush 3 White-eyed Vireo 3 Blue-headed Vireo 1 Warbling Vireo 1 Red-eyed Vireo 3 Blue-winged Warbler 2 Tennessee Warbler 3 Northern Parula 1 Yellow-rumped Warbler 60+ Black-throated Green Warbler 2 Prairie Warbler 1 Palm Warbler 20+ Cerulean Warbler 1 male singing Black-and-white Warbler 1 Louisiana Waterthrush 3 Common Yellowthroat 3 Hooded Warbler 1 Yellow-breasted Chat 1 Rose-breasted Grosbeak 7+ -- Frank Fekel Tennessee State University Center of Excellence in Information Systems 3500 John A.
