Not much free time today, because the conference was in session all day, and I had two presentations to finalize and give. After my presentation, I did have a brief chance to visit Radnor Lake, one of Nashville's premier birding areas, just south of town off Granny White Pike (Map).
This is a nice walk through a wooded area around the lake. This can be very productive during migration. It was a quiet day bird-wise, but still a nice afternoon for a quick walk.
BIRDING: Mostly birds common to the area. Many many NORTHERN CARDINALS, also TUFTED TITMICE, CAROLINA WREN, CAROLINA CHICKADEE, CANADA GOOSE, one YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER, DOWNY WOODPECKERS, WOOD DUCKS, and what looked like BUFFLEHEAD far out into the lake.
