Radnor Lake
Davidson Co.
 
The rains stopped just as we started up the road, and birdsong and  sightings 
were numerous along the dam and behind the ranger's house.  It  took us 2 
hours just to get past the spillway, and we stopped at the overlook on  the 
Lake 
Trail and turned back at 10:30!  We only added 2 warbler  species to the list 
Frank Fekel already reported, Palm and Louisiana  Waterthrush.  One of the 
adult Bald Eagles flew real close to us on the dam  and we watched it catch a 
fish.  We enjoyed great looks at lots of  Blackpolls, Blackburnian, 
Bay-breasted 
and Chestnut-sideds, and had a  fairly cooperative singing and preening 
Mourning Warbler at the point in  front of the ranger's house. Others besides 
warblers included:
 
wild turkey
red-shouldered hawk
swift
ruby-throated hummingbird
pair of pileated on the ground feeding
pewee
phoebe
great crested flycatcher
white-eyed vireo
Philadelphia vireo
red-eyed vireo
n. rough-winged swallow
gnatcatcher
bluebird
gray-cheeked thrush
Swainson's thrush
wood thrush
catbird
rose-breasted grosbeak
indigo bunting
