Observation details
About 10 minutes before arriving at Galileo Hill, we read that Tom Wurster had found an adult male Mourning Warbler. Upon arriving, we checked in at the office and ran into Tom on the nearby lawn. After a couple minutes of talking (he gave us directions to the warbler; two redstarts were flitting around while we chatted) we headed over to the lawn just southeast of the petting zoo. He had seen it there about two hours prior. Soon the bird flushed up from the weedy grass along a tree-lined berm, and perched for nice views about 5 feet up the trees (mixture of deciduous species; ground cover was not very dense). Twice it gave a distinctive chik note; we didn't hear it sing, but Tom did. We returned a few times throughout the afternoon and saw it twice more.
