Radnor Lake State Natural Area
Nashville-Davidson Co. TN
27 April 2011
.
It stopped raining in the Radnor Lake area about 7:00 this morning, so a
small group of birders met on schedule to see what might be out this
Wednesday.
First, the PROTHONOTARY WARBLERS, which had been so noticeably absent at
Radnor this spring, finally appeared. We got good looks at three of them at
various points along the lake trail. Other notable warbler species include a
very colorful singing CHESTNUT-SIDED WARBLER, several BLACKPOLL WARBLERS
feeding at lower levels and, a bit unusual for Radnor, a YELLOW-BREASTED
CHAT. In total we had 13 warbler species. The SWAINSON'S THRUSHES were both
calling and singing. We had a good number of both male and female
ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAKS, seen at close range.The OSPREY, still present, was
in his usual spot on the far shore of the lake. And both SUMMER and SCARLET
TANAGERS were heard and seen. We heard a BALTIMORE ORIOLE, but he stayed
hidden in the wet, green vegetation not far from the Spillway.
The group made it to the Long Bridge before the rain returned and we headed
back at that point. In all, not a bad time on a gloomy day.
