It is year 5 of this project and I am once again writing to request your 
help and participate in a Citizens Science Project that involves recording 
migrating Mourning Warbler songs.  Our lab is trying to determine what role 
song can play in understanding migratory connectivity in this species.  We 
are interested in whether different song populations of the Mourning 
Warbler (Western, Eastern, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland) migrate together or 
separately to their respective breeding areas.   Here is a link to a map 
with previous years’ results based on recordings from over 100 birders.

All you need is a smartphone with a voice recording app and some luck.  Videos 
with recordings are also helpful.  The web page link below describes the 
project and how to make recordings on your Smartphone in more detail.   Please 
send song recordings to the Mourning Warbler Sound Lab (jpitocch AT 
anselm.edu).

There is also a link to a recent national Audubon Society story on this 
research.

I would really appreciate your help and contributions this year to this 
Citizens Science Project.
