After searching my favorite spots at Denison this morning with no luck for Mourning Warbler, I thought I would check Lobdell even though I’ve never heard or seen one there but it seemed like good habitat. I heard a single bird not very close to the trail but was never able to spot it before it went silent. I returned to the area a bit later and heard it again. Finally it perched singing fairly high above eye level in the glaring sun but I could just make out the gray hood against yellow & the black bib. It fell silent again so I waited well over half an hour when it started singing from an hidden perch in the same area.

It flew across the trail, landed & stayed low, chipping some and singing a soft, partial song so I could estimate where it was. Finally my patience was rewarded when it perched on a fallen log giving me a clear sight line & lovely views, even a couple photos! Then it hopped down and vanished into the tangles. FOY.

O/w, the birding was pretty quiet, not that I’m complaining….pretty much the same birds I’ve been seeing.
