7-9 am
mostly cloudy, breezy

On Thursday morning Kevin Bowden and I birded at Radnor Lake 
from the west parking lot to Long Bridge and back.  We found
a nice assortment of migrants.  Water birds included 38 LESSER
SCAUP, 13 BLUE-WINGED TEAL, 1 PIED BILLED GREBE and some 
WOOD DUCKs.  Land migrants were highlighted by at least a
dozen RUBY-CROWNED KINGLETs and 18+ YELLOW RUMPED WARBLERs.  
A silent YELLOW-THROATED VIREO was one of our first finds.  
However, some migrants were singing and thus more easily spotted.
They included 2 N. PARULAs, 1 HOODED WARBLER, and 1 PRAIRIE WARBLER.  
Three tail wagging PALM WARBLERs and 1 BLUE-WINGED WARBLER also 
brightened our spirits.  Indeed, it must be spring at Radnor with
the addition of 4 WHITE-EYED VIREOs, singing at full voice.  All
in all, a great spring day.
