A male MOURNING WARBLER (MOWA) is reported on or near the west Midwood slope near Boulder Bridge, observed by Ed Crowne just after 8 am.
A 8:50 report from Rob Bate places the MOURNING WARBLER now at /or below Center Dr east of 3 Arches Bridge (or Nethermead Br)
11:15 Rob Jett says the MOWA is along the west Midwood ridge, this area being between the horse bridle woods trail to up the slope into the Elephant Hill roadway , in that general area.
5:01 pm MOURNING WARBLER on the west Midwood slope just in from Center Drive. Go in 150 feet on the horse trail , look for a muddy section on the horse trail and stop.Look to the left on the slope behind two giant Tulip trees where it was seen.The MOWA was seen flying still in the underbrush, searching for insects under leaves or along the ground. (obs: PDorosh)
Its possible the MOWA will hang around, so Saturday morning is a good bet given past histories for long stay ( one stayed 9 days).

Peter,
Really seemed quiet today, but I did see the Mourning Warbler with Rob B & Rob J in the last place reported in the Midwood. We got pretty good looks and it circled around us a couple of times.
