I birded Friday morning at Radnor Lake with some excellent
help. Phillip Casteel and Jan Shaw joined me for the
walk to Long Bridge and back to the west parking lot.
It was very slow going as the mini-fallout of warblers and
their varied songs continued from yesterday. With 2 more
pairs of eyes and better trained ears we had a bonanza of
warblers. However, early in our walk, just as we reached
the lake, Phillip spotted an adult BALD EAGLE perched in a
tree in the large cove with the deck overlook. Thanks to
Ken Oeser whom we met near the dam, I got my first BLUE
GROSBEAK, a brown female, for my Radnor Lake list. Other
highlights, besides the warblers noted below, were
2 LEAST FLYCATCHERs, an ALDER FLYCATCHER, BALTIMORE ORIOLE
and plenty of thrushes both visible and calling.
We finished with 22 warbler species. Even more numerous
than yesterday were BLACKPOLLs with plenty of males and a
some females. The number of BAY-BREASTED WARBLERs was
down a bit from Thursday and AM. REDSTARTs and MAGNOLIAs
had increased. We did NOT hear or see MOURNING or
CONNECTICUT WARBLERs. RED-EYED VIREOs were still plentiful
but fewer than Thursday.
