Showers

Wednesday morning I went to Radnor Lake and spent a short
two hours birding between the rain drops.  Migrants were
numerous, active, and singing even in the light rain. 
Although several heavier showers caused a cessation of
most activity, it was a good morning.  The adult BALD 
EAGLEs were calling and fishing.  A FORSTER'S TERN was
also flying over the lake.  A YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHER
was seen giving its call just before I reached the 
west parking lot.  There were plenty of thrushes around,
WOOD, GRAY-CHEEKED, SWAINSON'S, and VEERY.
My abbreviated walk produced 15 warbler species. I am
sure the NTOS Wednesday walk group added to that number.
I got nice looks at the male MOURNING WARBLER, who was
singing near the dam.  He is likely the same individual
I found there on Monday.  Unfortunately, I have but
one more day to find my CONNECTICUT at Radnor before
I leave for NJ for a family visit (and a bit of birding).
