We report a high-field electron spin resonance study in the sub-THz frequency domain of a single crystal of Sr_2IrO_4 that has been recently proposed as a prototypical spin-orbital Mott insulator. In the antiferromagnetically (AFM) ordered state with noncollinear spin structure that occurs in this material at T_ N≈ 240 K we observe both the "low" frequency mode due to the precession of weak ferromagnetic moments arising from a spin canting, and the "high" frequency modes due to the precession
