Arrived at Radnor Lake this Wednesday morning only to find
a pair of rare birds in the west parking lot.  These refugees
from the Gulf Coast were pushed north to Nashville by
Hurricane Ivan.  It was good to see David and Carrie Dortch
again, but given the circumstances, I hope their homes along 
the coast are in relatively good shape when they return. 

They almost immediately made a splash when Carrie found the 
best bird of the morning, a male BLACK-THROATED BLUE WARBLER, 
which is a rare fall migrant in Nashville.  He was only the 
second one that I've seen this year in Nashville.

Phillip Casteel joined the three of us as the advance party for 
the NTOS Wednesday Walk.  Migration continued to improved from 
yesterday's good showing, with a variety of flycatchers 
(including YELLOW-BELLIED and LEAST) and a nice vireo turnout 
as well as 12 species of warblers.  The main NTOS group caught 
up to us at long bridge, at which time I had to leave for work.  
Thus, they may have gotten additional species after I left.

Birds of interest included:
Yellow-billed Cuckoo 1
E. Wood-Pewee 2
Acadian Flycatcher 1
Least Flycatcher 1
Yellow-bellied Flycatcher 1
Great Crested Flycatcher 1
Swainson's Thrush 5

Black-throated Blue  1 male

Black-and-white 1
American Redstart 5
