Eighteen Mad Birders were treated to a gorgeous fifteen minute serenade by a Mourning Warbler on Saturday May 29th during a stroll up Freeman Hill Road in Moretown. Below is a close up photo of this species taken at a banding station on Mount Mansfield.

Cooler temperatures kept the insects at bay, and maybe some birds as well, but the group had good looks at many of the thirty species identified. A Great Crested Flycatcher was heard, but not seen and later mimicked by a Gray Catbird.
