Radnor Lake, Nashville, TN
Friday morning 7-9:15 am
West Parking lot to Lake trail to Long Bridge and back.

I could not resist the call of the wild this morning.  The cold front
with its fall-like temperatures sure brought in the migrants.  Compared
to Monday, it was a huge bonanza.  My short walk resulted in finding 
4 mixed warbler flocks and a total of 12 warbler species.

Blue-winged Warbler  1
Golden-winged Warbler 3 (2 stunning adult males.  Relatively rare in
       the spring in Nashville, but they come through during fall
       migration in a big way.)
Northern Parula 1
Chestnut-sided  4
Magnolia        6
Black-throated Green 1
Blackburnian    1 (a gorgeous male)
Black-and-white Warbler  3
American Redstart 4 (no adult males)
Ovenbird        1
Common Yellowthroat 1 female
Canada Warbler  1

Also seen:
Solitary Sandpiper 1 (Amazing since there is essentially no habitat here)
Swainson's Thrush  2
Red-eyed Vireo     3
Common Grackle    120+
