In the Atlantic Coast States this Warbler is found only 

 as a fall migrant, at times in considerable numbers. It

 its migrations up the Mississippi Valley and on its nesting 

 ground, has been described as resembling that of both the 

 Oven-bird and Maryland Yellow-throat. The only nest

The Mourning Warbler is one of the rarer Warblers 

 which, by good fortune, we may occasionally see toward 

 the end of the spring migration. It is usually found in 

 the lower growth, being a brush and tangle haunter of 

 woods and clearings. Its song, which is described as 

 clear and ringing, is uttered frequently, often from a dead
