Hello -
I received a call from Allen Trently tonight reporting that he had a singing
Mourning Warbler today on Grassy Ridge in the same location that he had the
bird last year. He first heard it singing and then saw the bird. He only
heard and saw the single bird. He has not giving up hope on the possibly of
a nest. He will check all avenues of hope next trip up.
To get to Grassy Ridge drive up and park at Carver's Gap on Roan Mountain.
Hike the Appalachian Trail (south) for approx. 1.5 miles until you get to the
Grassy Ridge / Appalachian Trail intersection. Turn up Grassy Ridge and the
bird was located just a few yards up the trail. The hike is somewhat
strenuous as you will go up and down 3 or 4 times...and there is the trip
back.
Allen is working for the Southern Appalachian Conservancy and is currently
staying on the back side of Roan Mt (about 1.5 miles into North Carolina) at
the Conservancy's Mountain cabin. He asked me to include the phone number at
the cabin (828-688-4382) and invited anyone who was interested in finding the
bird to give a call and he will give you the latest information he has on the
bird and is willing to help relocate the bird with the interested parties.
He has no answering machine so you need a little luck or possibly call in
advance to plan a trip with him. He is usually there in the evenings
(Wed-Sat/Sun).
