Since there have been so many Mournign Warbler posts lately, I thought that I would screw up my courage, and report a Mourning Warbler heard, but not seen, at the C&O Canal near Violettes Lock on Sunday, May 9. When I first heard it, I immediately thought that it was a Mourning Warbler, but then thought, "No, probably a Kentucky." I listened to my Peterson CD at home, and confirmed that it was a Mourning. There was also a Common Loon and a male Ruddy Duck on the Potomac in this area. Elliot Kirschbaum Baltimore, MD USA mailto:ekirschb@bcpl.net
