4-6-08 Radnor Lake Davidson Co David Kirschke, a new NTOS member from East TN, and I walked around the lake this morning and had our first of season sightings of Prothonotary Warbler (1), N. Parula (1-2), Blue-headed Vireo (3) and Chimney Swift (2). David spotted the silent Prothonotary, and we watched it for several minutes along the road, below eye level as it caught and tried to deal with a large insect. The Parula also came down low for us as it sang. The Common Loon that was there the last 3 days, was not there today. Neither was the Eastern Kingbird. There was one Horned Grebe and a couple Pied-billeds. David spotted 4 Brown Creepers, an unusually high number. There was a Barred Owl at the east end, and other warblers included enumerable Yellow-rumps, Black-throated Green (3) and Louisiana Waterthrush (2). Gnatcatcher numbers have really increased, as well as singing Ruby-crowned Kinglets. Camille Crenshaw and her friend Bill also had a Wild Turkey along the dam road. Sharon Monroe had a N. Parula and an Osprey there on April 4. Jan Shaw Nashville, TN **************Planning your summer road trip? Check out AOL Travel Guides.
