Canada Goose on Radnor Lake
A beautiful springlike mid-winter's day at Nashville's Radnor Lake State Natural Area. Even in winter, this is a haven for birders. This time of year, the main attraction is waterfowl. In addition to this guy and his buddies, Radnor is all about the ducks. "The lake generally hosts several hundred birds, consisting mainly of Lesser Scaup, Ring-necked Duck, Canvasback, Ruddy Duck, Bufflehead, Gadwall, and Mallards. However, almost any of Tennessee's duck species can occur here, including records of all three scoter species and Long-tailed Ducks. Pied-billed Grebes and American Coots are also regular, with the occasional Common Loon or Horned Grebe to spice things up. Ducks are best observed along Otter Creek Road, except for a well-placed observation deck on Grassy Point. Always check Big Pond, which usually hosts most of the lake's wintering dabblers."
