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.
