This morning, at about 8:00 while doing my IBA survey of the Minnehaha Falls area, I had three Mourning Warblers calling from the brush on both sides of the driveway leading down to Lock & Dam #1.
Got a great look at one when it finally came forward in the brush (this one happened to be on the river side of the driveway). As an aside, the ambient noise (traffic, airplanes, etc) was terrible. Hard for me to even ID the call at first because only the loudest portions of the song penetrated the racket. Ironically, last night I started an excellent book on the topic of noise pollution: One Square Inch of Silence (2009). Very relevant for birders! Diana Doyle S.
