Conditions at Radnor were a bit chilly because of both the temperature
and a 10-15 mph wind.  Winter birds are still in ascendency but I 
saw my first CHIMNEY SWIFTs and WOOD DUCK. A friendly LOUISIANA WARBLER 
finally accomodated me by perching where I could see as well as hear it.  
There were quite a few RUBY-CROWNED KINGLETS, several displaying 
their red "crest" as they sang.  A lone Golden-crowned Kinglet 
competed for attention.  A pair of COOPER'S HAWKS cavorted aloft,
and it was neat to see the obvious sized difference.  Plenty of
TREE and N. ROUGH-WINGED SWALLOWs crisscrossed the lake.  Yellow-rumped
Warblers vied with the swallows for largest numbers today. A few ducks
were at the east end of the lake, but I decided not to walk all the 
way around and so just went to Long Bridge and back to the west
parking lot.
