The cold front of yesterday left this morning crisp and clear, an obvious
invitation to bird Radnor Lake.  The morning did not disappoint.  I birded
my usual route from the west parking lot to Long Bridge and back with
Phillip Casteel from 7 am to 9:30 am.  Most numerous species was
YELLOW RUMPED WARBLER with 75+ birds.  Several times I had a half dozen
or more in my 10x42 binocular field of view.  Somewhat to my surprise
MAGNOLIA was not the second most numerous warbler, rather it was  
TENNESSEE with BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLERs also being quite numerous.
Six woodpecker species were seen, the only one missing was RED-HEADED,
the latter being unusual at Radnor Lake.

Warblers:
Tennessee 25+
Orange-crowned 2
Nashville 1
Magnolia 5
Yellow-rumped 75+
Black-throated Green 15+
Bay-breasted 1
Am. Redstart 1 (im. male)
Common Yellowthroat

Other birds of interest, migrants and incoming wintering birds:
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker 3
Easter Wood-Pewee 1
Eastern Phoebe  heard
Brown Creeper 1
House Wren 1
Winter Wren  2 heard
Golden-crowned Kinglet 1
Blue-headed Vireo 1
Philadelphia Vireo 1
Red-eyed Vireo 1
White-throated Sparrow 5

When I left him, Phillip had joined up with the Wednesday NTOS group and 
he was still hard at work.
