Forgot to mention earlier in the week that I got an nice yardbird on
Tuesday morning.  As I pulled out of the carport and into the lane
in Section X of River Plantation I found a shorebird looking for food
in a puddle that had formed overnight on the blacktopped road.  This
DUNLIN surely looked out of place!

Spent 90 minutes this morning, Friday, Nov. 1, at Radnor Lake in
Nashville. Although it began as a brisk day, the sun attempted to peak
through the clouds from time to time, exciting the birds into action.
Most of seen species were signs of approaching winter.   Large flocks of
AM. ROBINs were wandering through the trees, and The WINTER WREN continues
around the dam area.  Also, there were plenty of kinglets today.  In
addition, for a change there were ducks on the pond.  However, it was
also nice to see a few fall migrant remnants.  A couple nice warblers and 
a bunting rounded out the morning.  Species of interest included:

Ring-necked Duck 2
Lesser Scaup 8
Hooded Merganser 2
Am. Coot 6

Eastern Phoebe 1
Brown Creeper 1
Ruby-crowned Kinglet 8
Golden-crowned Kinglet 2

Orange-crowned Warbler 1
Black-throated Green Warbler 1

Indigo Bunting 1
