Today's NTOS Wednesday Walk at Radnor Lake was a good one with 16 participants. The weather was beautiful though a little breezy early on. While our overall numbers weren’t exceptional, we made up for it with some great sightings. Many in the group were able to see Yellow-Billed Cuckoo, Yellow-Throated Warbler (on the ground for a couple of minutes), Canada Warbler, Wilson’s Warbler - and most exciting - a male Black-Throated Blue Warbler. Total number of species was 51, with 15 species of warblers observed (all but Tennessee Warbler were viewed).
