Thursday 2008 May 8
7:00-10:15 am
cloudy, sporadic light rain
After spending much of prime migration on a business trip
to SE Arizona, I managed to visit Radnor Lake today
mostly between the rain showers. It seemed like a
mini-fallout with warblers singing everywhere, making
it a wonderful morning. I birded the Lake Trail to Long
Bridge and back to the west parking lot. As I began to
retrace my steps I ran into Kevin Bowden and then Brian
Becker, who accompanied me back toward the parking lot.
I would have loved to continue for the whole morning but
work required an appearance sooner rather than later today.
I finished with 19 warbler species (maybe I should have
stayed longer and gone up on Ganier Ridge to get 1 more
species!). Most numerous were BLACKPOLLs with plenty of
males and a few females. The number of BAY-BREASTED
WARBLERs was not far behind. I also got my first
CANADA WARBLER of the year. However, I did NOT
hear or see MOURNING or CONNECTICUT WARBLERs. RED-EYED
VIREOs were perhaps the most numerous species of all
this morning. We also saw WHITE-EYED as well as
YELLOW-THROATED and BLUE-HEADED VIREOs. Kevin also had
a PHILADELPHIA VIREO. Thrushes were also cooperative
with a VEERY and GRAY-CHEEKED THRUSH as well as the
numerous SWAINSON'S and some WOOD THRUSHes.
