Nest raised a few inches above the ground among the surrounding stems; female sitting. This nest was brought to me by Oscar Morse who described the female accurately, and when shown a number of Warblers od different species, unhesitatingly picked out a female Mourning Warbler from among the other skins as being the bird in question.
