Another gorgeous fall day mandated a morning foray to Radnor Lake on
Thursday, where I walked my usual route from the west parking lot
to Long Bridge and Back.
Migrant flocks included 9 NORTHERN FLICKERs, clearly a major movement,
and plenty of BLUE JAYs and AM. ROBINs. Several water birds were also
in evidence as listed below. Numbers of warblers had decreased from
yesterday but still provided significant interest as I found another
immature female MOURNING WARBLER, this one at "willow point" near the
dam and ranger's house. At 8 am the bird gave great looks from the bench
area at the point, and when I returned 90 minutes later and did a soft
pish or two, it reappeared and produced additional superb views.
Unfortunately, my camera is in the shop to be fixed so I had no chance
to take a photo. Also found were 2 or possibly 3 ORANGE-CROWNED
WARBLERs.
Water birds:
Pied-billed Grebe 9
Double-crested Cormorant 1
Gadwall 1
Ring-necked Duck 2
Am. Coot 2
