Radnor Lake State Natural Area
Oct. 8, 2014

The storms that moved through the Nashville area overnight had cleared by morning resulting in some good birding for the NTOS Wednesday morning walk.

We totaled 42 species, including 13 warbler species. The unexpected warbler species present were: WILSON'S WARBLER, ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER and OVENBIRD. The group also got good looks at a male SUMMER TANAGER.

There was a group of ducks on the late, but the distance and the lighting made a positive identification difficult.
