Sept. 11
Radnor Lake
Davidson Co.
Our first of the season fall Radnor walk was a success as 18 birders gathered
to enjoy the morning stroll. The warbler numbers were fairly light, but we
managed to see 7 species including Magnolia, American Redstart, Black and
White, Bay-breasted, Chestnut-sided, Norhtern Parula and very satisfying looks
at a cooperative Canada Warbler.
The walk up and past the spillway trail was fairly quiet. The highlights
included Acadian flycathers, a Yellow-billed cuckoo ( a lifer for some), Summer
tanagers, and white-eyed vireos. The lake trail had 2 separate pockets of
warblers where we found most of those previously mentioned as well as three
Swainson's thrushes. While most of the group returned after reaching Long
Bridge, 4 of us continued along the Otter Creek trail back to the parking lot.
Besides a few Wood ducks and another small pocket of warblers, including the
Northern Parulas, we managed to get our Belted Kingfisher and Great Blue Heron
for the day. A good morning was had by all.
Richard Connors will lead the next of the five remaining Radnor walks next
Wednesday, the 18th, at 7:30 AM. We'll meet once again at the Radnor West End
parking lot.
