I forgot two things:
1. I have uploaded a bit of the probable KEWA song to the MOU web site’s audio gallery.
2. If you go to look for the bird, take mosquito repellent.

Subject: Probable Kentucky Warbler, St. Paul
On Tuesday, 6/11, and again today, I heard a probable Kentucky Warbler singing regularly in Battle Creek Park, St. Paul. I’ve marked the location on this Google map: https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&oe=UTF8&msa=0&msid=210992007790339495719.0004df23b3a9aa444a01a .
When I first heard it, I assumed it was a Mourning Warbler, but after hearing two Mourning Warblers in the same woods, I came to believe that this could be a Kentucky Warbler. This morning, I spent a couple of hours trying in vain to see the bird. I got some pretty good audio recordings of it as well as recordings of the two Mourning Warblers located a few hundred yards away. I have compared my recordings of this bird with recordings of the Mourning Warblers that I made this morning and with Cornell recordings of a Kentucky Warbler and a very similar-sounding Mourning Warbler. To me, the sound says Kentucky. I have also made sonograms for comparison. The sonogram of the Battle Creek bird is practically identical to that of a Cornell Kentucky Warbler, but very different from that of the similar-sounding Mourning Warbler. I have uploaded images of these sonograms to this web album: View Album .
If you go to look for this bird, please stay on the trails and do not use playback.
