Radnor Lake State Natural Area Davidson Co. Nashville, TN Tuesday 2 December 7:15 - 9:00 am After being away for one week, I went to check on duck movement at Radnor Lake. AM. ROBINs were almost at plague proportions, but I also saw a dozen RUSTY BLACKBIRDs in two small flocks. Both the SURF SCOTER and his RUDDY "buddy" have left. Ducks have increased somewhat in both numbers and variety with 6 species present. Pied-billed Grebe 1 Am. Black 6 Mallard 2 Gadwall 28 Am. Wigeon 10 Ring-necked 8 Bufflehead 6 Best bird of the morning was a single female PURPLE FINCH, seen feeding in cedar trees near the deck along the lake trail.
