Morning after a significant cold front
Clear and crisp
7:15-9.55 am

Having just returned yesterday afternoon from a trip to the
Chicago area, I was glad to return to Radnor. Wednesday was
a glorious morning for a walk.  With a cold front having come
through the night before, it turned out to be the most active
morning I've had this fall.  Highlights included 13 species
of warblers and 4 species of vireos.  To my surprise the
dominant warber was BLACK-THROATED GREEN, but there were
also double digit numbers of TENNESSEE and MAGNOLIA WARBLERs.
There were still plenty of ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAKs but
two YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKERs also means that more winter
birds should be coming soon. A light juvenile BROAD-WINGED HAWK
circled the dam area briefly as I worked my way back to the
parking lot.

Birds of interest included:

Broad-winged Hawk 1
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker 2
Yellow-throated Vireo 1
Blue-headed Vireo 1
Philadelphia Vireo 3
Red-eyed Vireo 2
