This morning at 7:35 I was standing at the kitchen window, opened it to
hear the early morning birding serenade while making coffee, when it
suddenly "registered" in my mind that I thought I was hearing a MOURNING
WARBLER singing. Surely, it could not be! I "looked" for one all day
yesterday during the migration day count in Campbell County. It sang
again, and there was no mistaking it. Grabbed my binoculars and went
into the bathroom first and flung open the window thinking I would
probably have to go outside to try and find it, but there he was at eye
level in the Apple Tree off the back of the house singing away.
Incredible yard bird. It was actually the best look I have ever had of a
Mourning, other than once in Canada. Timing sure is everything in
birding. Within a short 3 minutes, I watched him fly off towards the
North. He had stopped in briefly at my bird bath I believe, as he was
drying off and preening away just above it.
I live at 1500 ft elevation along a ridge in Campbell County, TN just
outside the city limits of Jacksboro. (40 M. North of Knoxville)
Don't forget to LISTEN!
