Radnor Lake State Natural Area Davidson Co. Nashville, TN 2005 September 30 7-9:30 am I returned yesterday afternoon from a business trip in Arizona with its 100+F temperatures (that ooh so dry heat!), so I looked forward to the cooler temperatures of Nashville. It certainly felt like a crisp fall day as I walked around Radnor Lake, looking for birds that the recent cold front brought. Jan Shaw caught up to me, and we walked to Long Bridge and then back to the West Parking lot. Although there were more migrants than 10 days ago when I left for Arizona, there still were NOT large numbers of migrants. We had 9 warbler species and found our first YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERs of the season. Birds of interest included: Pied-billed Grebe 2 Ruby-throated Hummingbird 1 Ruby-crowned Kinglet 1 Swainson's Thrush 1 Gray Catbird 1 Brown Thrasher 1 Cedar Waxwing 15+ Yellow-throated Vireo 1 Nashville Warbler 1 Chestnut-sided Warbler 1 Magnolia Warbler 12+ Yellow-rumped Warbler 2 Black-throated Green Warbler 5 Blackburnian Warbler 1 Black-and-white Warbler 2 American Redstart 5 Common Yellowthroat 1 Summer Tanager 1 Rose-breasted Grosbeak 3 -- Frank Fekel Tennessee State University Center of Excellence in Information Systems 3500 John A.
