Brilliant sunshine greeted 15 birders who joined the final outing of the
Spring 2010 Wednesday Walks at Radnor Lake, sponsored by the Nashville
chapter of TOS. Among today's highlights were two PHILADELPHIA VIREOS that
cooperated nicely in the trees beside the house by the spillway. The yellow
breast showed up very clearly in the morning sunlight. Also nearby, below
the dam, was a HOODED WARBLER that could be heard singing a slight variation
of the normal song. This particular bird-or one with the exact odd song-has
been regularly observed in the same spot for at least a week. Later along
the Lake Trail was a fairly cooperative CANADA WARBLER. Several AMERICAN
REDSTARTS were seen flitting along the Lake Trail as well. Another
highlight, at the Long Bridge, low in the underbrush, was a coy female
MOURNING WARBLER. She allowed us several nano-second views and then
disappeared. Finally returning the parking lot, we got a quick look at a
soaring juvenile BROAD-WINGED HAWK.

 

Thanks to all who participated this spring and for providing all the extra
spotting and hearing skills which made the walks a pleasure.
