I
am posting my annual opportunity to participate in a Citizens Science Project
that involves recording migrating Mourning Warbler songs. I am trying to determine the nature of
migratory pathways taken by different song populations of Mourning Warbler
males during their spring migration. I
am continuing to collect your recordings and plot them on a map of North
America to determine if and where birds with different song types (regiolects)
separate from each other during spring migration. The most current map of songs of migrants is
at the web site below.

All
you need is a Smartphone and a singing Mourning Warbler. You can send the recordings to my e-mail
address (jpitocch AT anselm.edu). The
web page link below describes the project and how to make recordings on your
Smartphone in more detail.

This
year is the 10th and final year of data collection. I very much appreciate your past and present
contributions to this Citizens Science Project.
