Earth Day 2015 found twenty-nine adventurous birders participating in the second of six Spring Wednesday morning walks at Radnor Lake. The sun peeked out occasionally and a few raindrops fell on our heads but all and all it was a great morning with friends new and old.
Highlights of the day included BALTIMORE ORIOLE and a singing LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH near the parking lot, a beautiful male SCARLET TANAGER, a singing WOOD THRUSH, a NASHVILLE WARBLER darting around Dogwood blossoms, 3 RUBY-THROATED HUMMINGBIRD enjoying the cross-vine scattered along the trail and a BROAD-WINGED HAWK soaring high above.
