With cool
temperature and optimal lighting conditions, twenty birders participated in
this morning's walk at Radnor Lake sponsored by the Nashville Chapter of TOS.
Highlights included great looks at a BALTIMORE ORIOLE on the dam by the lake,
an extremely cooperative CANADA WARBLER along the lake trail, a tail-bobbing
SPOTTED SANDPIPER on a log in the lake, as well as a rare fly over of a
RED-HEADED WOODPECKER heading in a southerly direction.
