Interesting; down here in Lewis County we had all those transients over the last two days, but today was my first morning with NO migrants at all, only species that are expected to spend the summer except for one lingering White-throated Sparrow

Radnor Lake (Davidson Co.) was quite birdy this morning with a lot of transients evident. I spent a couple of hours walking to Long Bridge and back with Chuck and Lola Estes and Tom Johnston and we also bumped into Bob Ingle, Terry Witt, Chad Smith, and Kevin Bowden at various points along the way, as well as a couple of folks I didn't know.The highlight was a singing CONNECTICUT WARBLER fairly deep off the trail just past bench 19. We heard it give two song cycles of 3-4 songs each, with several minutes passing between each cycle. It would be very, very easy to walk by and never hear it. We were just lucky to be in the right place at the right time.Overall, we had 17 species of warblers, including a good number of CANADAS, lots of BLACKPOLLS, a few BAY-BREASTEDS, and a singing CERULEAN below the old ranger station.
