cool, clear
7:15-9:45 am

After devoting the weekend to other concerns, I headed to  
Radnor Lake this Monday morning.  I found primarily the same 
species that have been seen there the past several days.
I did not find either of Michael Bernard's hybrids from
his posting of yesterday.  Instead, near the Ranger's 
residence not far from the dam, I enjoyed watching an otter 
work on a fish breakfast.  It actually came out of the water
with its catch and was hiding in the underbrush.  Another event 
slightly out of the ordinary occurred when I heard an agitated 
OVENBIRD giving its call note repeatedly.  I never found out 
what its problem was, but over the course of 2-3 minutes, 
5 other species of warblers showed up in response to its alarm!
Best bird of the day was a nice YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHER, 
giving its "tuwee" call.  I neither saw or heard a RED-BREASTED
GROSBEAK.  However, I did find 12 species of warblers, although
none that I had not seen before this fall migration.

Chimney Swift 45+
Yellow-bellied Flycatcher 1
Blue-gray Gnatchatcher    2
Swainson's Thrush         8
