 On Monday, June 24, 2002, I looked for and found the Mourning Warbler on
Grassy Ridge.  I watched it for about four hours.  It's territory seems to
becompletely in TN.  I did not see a female.  The bird was not singing a
fullMOWA song so if you are going to take the hike up to look for it be
awarethat it may be singing something different from what you know.  The
songsounds like a husky common yellowthroat, "Weedeater, weed".  Please try
not to trample too much of the vegetation.   On my way back from Grassy
Ridge, I observed a Vesper Sparrow feeding along the Appalachian Trail
beforeJane Bald (after Jane Bald is Round Bald than Carver's Gap).  This is
the first of its species seen on Roan this year.  I saw one Vesper Sparrow
inthe same place last year.  I never hear vespers singing on the mountain.
