I celebrated my daughter's birthday by taking my first September
walk at Radnor Lake this morning, and it was an enjoyable morning.
I found 3 mixed flocks of warblers as I walked from the West Parking
Lot to Long Bridge and back.  The first and largest was just after
the deck along the Lake Trail.  I had 10 different species including
BLACKBURNIAN, a singing CANADA, plus N. PARULA, and CHESTNUT-SIDED 
WARBLERS.  The second flock was just before Long Bridge, where 
the best birds were a WILSON'S WARBLER, VEERY, and YELLOW-BILLED
CUCKOO.  The last flock was found just before I reached the parking 
lot.  It was particularly enjoyable, as I had my first GOLDEN-WINGED 
WARBLER for the year as well as a BLUE-WINGED WARBLER and another 
VEERY.  Most numerous were MAGNOLIA WARBLERs with a dozen or more 
seen, and not far behind were various plumaged AM. REDSTARTs.
I finished with 14 different warbler species, a nice morning for
this early in September.
