Radnor Lake State Natural Area
Davidson Co., TN
2018 September 21

This Friday morning I walked from the west parking lot to Long Bridge
and back. Migrating birds were still generally hard to come by although
I saw a couple ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAKs and several SWAINSON'S THRUSHes.
However, just before bench 20 and Long Bridge I found a hybrid BLUE-WINGED x GOLDEN-WINGED WARBLER feeding on the underside of the
overhanging canopy. It was all gray on the back and tail and had
white wing bars, but had a yellow cap and dark line through the eye.
It was grayish white in the throat but light yellow on the upper breast
and grayish white toward the tail.

The photo by Jim Zipp at www.arkive.org for the blue-winged warbler
site shows a bird in nearly identical plumage.
