6:45-9:00 am
Rain

Thursday morning I looked at the weather map radar 
and decided to give Radnor one more chance before
heading out of state.  Unfortunately, the rain
drops were much more frequent than yesterday and
I still heard no CONNECTICUT WARBLER. However, 
there was still plenty of action going on.  With
low overcast skies, near the dam I very briefly 
pished and found myself surrounded by a mixed 
flock of 9 different warbler species, who 
came to see what all the fuss was about.  I was 
surprised at the number of folks who enjoy 
walking in the rain.  One was fellow birder 
Ken Oeser whom I met on the trail, and who told
me that the MOURNING WARBLER at the dam was
still present.  As we were talking near the
deck on the Lake Trail, I heard and then got a
brief look at another MOURNING.  In all I found
14 species of warblers and ran into a pair of
birders from Alabama who found BLACKBURNIAN
and HOODED WARBLERs that I missed.  There were
plenty of RED-EYED VIREOs as well.

Warblers:
Tennessee 5
N. Parula 2
Yellow    2
Chestnut sided 1
Magnolia       4
Black-throated Green 1
Bay-breasted   4
Blackpoll      7
Am. Redstart   2
Prothonotary   1
Kentucky       1
Louisiana Waterthrush 1
Mourning       1
Canada         1
