Radnor Lake State Natural Area
Nashville-Davidson Co. TN
20 April 2011
.
The overnight thunderstorms had moved east of Nashville this morning, which
was encouraging enough for 13 birders to join today's NTOS-sponsored walk at
Radnor Lake State Natural Area. In the mist and overcast skies we observed
11 warbler species, getting good looks at two HOODED WARBLERS, several PALM
WARBLERS and numerous YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS. A YELLOW WARBLER flitted about
in the vegetation by the spillway, but afforded good looks for only a few of
us. But he made up for it by singing loud and clear, which may have added to
the frustration of those of us who did NOT see the bird. After all, he was
right there!
A brilliant male SCARLET TANAGER remained out in bare branches long enough
for us all to get good looks at him. And a colorful male INDIGO
BUNTING posed for us at eye level. Perhaps these two provided the most
consistent color on this gray day. The two BARRED OWLS calling to one
another from almost-adjacent branches were pretty unusual as well.
