clearing, cool

A Wednesday morning walk at Radnor Lake clearly show the changing of
the season.  After heavy rains of the past several days, many of the
trees have lost almost all their leaves, making it much easier to
spot birds.  However, most neotropical migrants have already passed
us by.  The best area was the old Ranger house near the spillway
and dam, which produce WINTER and HOUSE WRENs in addition to the
ever present CAROLINAs.  Also there were 2 E. PHOEBEs.  My best
bird of the morning was a SHARP-SHINNED HAWK that flew across the
opening at the spillway.  It has been a couple years since I've seen
one in Tennessee.  I tried hard to find a warbler besides the
numerous YELLOW-RUMPEDs but failed.  Ducks included AM WIGEON,
GADWALL, and WOOD, while AM COOTs were also well represented
but I did not walk all the way around the lake to check the
east end.
