Radnor Lake SP
Davidson Co. TN
10 May 2022

A Tuesday morning walk at Radnor Lake continued to produce some good sightings despite a bit of wind at times. The weekend SWAINSON'S
WARBLER was apparently nowhere to be found today. However, a
female BLACK-THROATED BLUE WARBLER continued just before bench 17,
and a CONNECTICUT WARBLER was seen somewhat briefly but well by
a number of birders at bench 13. The habitat there is surprisingly
open for CONNECTICUT, but the bird was first seen by several birders
foraging along a fallen tree trunk, and a few minutes later some
additional birders got brief looks at eye level. I did hear it
sing once during the 30-40 minutes that I hung around after first
seeing it. There continue to be nice numbers of warblers including
BAY-BREASTED, MAGNOLIA, CHESTNUT-SIDED, CANADA and AM REDSTARTs.
MOURNING WARBLERs continue as they are still being heard and at
times seen at the Valve House area and a couple places along the
Lake Trail.

It is a bit surprising to me that this year I've now seen YELLOW-BELLIED
FLYCATCHER, MOURNING and CONNECTICUT WARBLERs, but have not yet
seen or heard a YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO.
