Mourning warblers ..that's two

Two MOURNING WARBLERs were reported this morning at opposite ends of Prospect Park. Singing away, as usually this skulker species does signalling its presence.

MOURNING #1 was the first report at 6:31 by Ed Crowne on Lookout Hills south slope thickly dense switchback trail by the Maryland Monument. MOURNING #2 reported 6:56 by Keir is at the BBC Centennial garden on the right rise as one enters the Vale Cashmere from the south with the rustic Zucker Playground as the backdrop.

Good luck finding this secretive species..if you cannot see it,don't mourn there will be other birds.

Dear Peter,

Here is a link to dropbox with the sound file of the recording of the song of the Biknell's Thrush in the Vale from this morning. Dennis got a recording of the calls later.

This bird has now been at the Vale of Cashmere since Sunday when Simon Taylor found it. The best way to hear and see it is to walk the asphalted path from the Vale up to the Southern Edge of the Rose Garden. It usually sings there and over the next 150' along the path that descends to the playground. Although it does not sing very loud it can be heard easily and sometimes seen from the path without entering the woods.

There is also a Gray-cheeked Thrush about 300' East.

Warm regards,

Klemens

I tweeted this, but I think it was originally set to private. In any case, here is the short recording I made of the Bicknell's Thrush singing in the Vale yesterday morning.
