    Heavily vested flycatcher with broad bill sitting in the tall dead tree on the outside of Butterfly Meadow. Flew as I was repositioning to get a better angle, and I didn’t see it again (I didn’t try very hard). Was not on MD perch as I was tracking MOWAs for the next half hour or so.

39. Mourning Warbler

    Number observed:  2

    Details

    First heard singing, and got horrid views of the male (yellow with gray head, black bib). Eventually saw the female briefly (yellow with gray head). Male was singing and chipping fairly frequently. They were both right at the base of MD Monument.
    
    From Jay Pitocchelli:
    
    "It is either a hybrid Eastern x Western Regiolect bird which is unlikely or it is a hybrid Eastern x Newfoundland bird but I can't tell for sure. The latter hybrids are also extremely rare."
    
    After sending more recordings:
    
    "My best guess is still the MO1 x MO18 hybrid song.
    
    Very challenging and interesting because I never found an admixture zone where these song populations could meet."
