Radnor Lake State Natural Area
Davidson Co.
Nashville, TN
Tuesday 2009 May 12
6:50-10:15am
gloriously clear

I birded Radnor Lake this glorious Tuesday morning with several
other local birders.  We set a slow pace and went from the West
parking lot to Long Bridge and back.  A visiting birder from
Orlando caught up to us and got 2 life warblers, a very nice
gift.  MAGNOLIA WARBLERs were highest in numbers, but most
warbler species had only 1 or 2 seen or heard.  As a group
I think we ended up with 18 species of warblers, an excellent
number for this late in the season.  One quiet MOURNING WARBLER
was seen very briefly just before Long Bridge.  A male
BLACKBURNIAN posed for great looks at Bench 18. Retracing our
steps to the dam an OSPREY attempted a fish catch and an Otter
was calling as it swam across the lake.

Unfortunately, I've not yet come across a Yellow-bellied Flycatcher
or Connecticut Warbler, but there are a few more days left in
this week to search.
