clear, crisp, and chilly

After being in Texas over the weekend my Monday morning walk at Radnor
Lake was a shock to the system.  However, the near freezing temperatures
did not bother the birds around the dam and deck along the Lake Trail,
which was where most of the action happened.  There was a major mix of
neo-tropical migrants and winter birds.  While, I saw first of the
season WINTER WREN, GOLDEN-CROWNED KINGLETs, and an ORANGE-CROWNED
WARBLER, I found a total of 11 species of warblers, dominated, as
expected, by YELLOW-RUMPEDs, but TENNESSEEs made a double digit
showing.  In addition to the warblers I had a single BLUE-HEADED VIREO
and several TREE SWALLOWs plus a modest number of CHIMNEY SWIFTs.
There was a nice wave of INDIGO BUNTINGs as well.  However, I found
no migrating ducks.

Birds of interest included:
Chimney Swift 21
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker 2
N. Flicker 2
E. Wood-Pewee 1
