The Kentucky Warbler is present and singing persistently at the location Julian described.  After 45 somewhat frustrating minutes as the birds sang hidden near the path, it flew high in a poplar farther back and I was able to visibly confirm its identity.
Mosquitos weren't too bad with long sleeves and repellent.

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.
