Radnor Lake State Natural Area
Nashville, TN
April 29, 2015

Clouds gave way to mostly sunny skies as 22 birders attended the third spring walk of 2015 at Radnor Lake this morning. Palm Warblers were seemingly everywhere along the north shore of the lake, even outnumbering the abundant Yellow-rumped Warbers. Other highlights include a Yellow-throated Warbler collecting nesting material at or near the ground, a first-of-season American Redstart for many, as well as a Blue-winged Warbler at the parking lot.
