The NTOS field trip to Radnor Lake this morning was quite soggy to say the least, yet nonetheless, 12 birders happily participated. Although there was no steady bird action, we eventually finished with 46 species. Highlights included awesome views of a singing Kentucky Warbler near Long Bridge and a surprise adult Common Loon in breeding plumage diving on the lake. In addition, a few of us heard a weak "Old Sam Peabody" song from a White-throated Sparrow by bench #13. Thank you to all who "braved the rain" today, and especially Chris Sloan, who led the trip.
