I am once again writing to request your help and record Mourning Warbler songs from spring migrants. It is year 8 of my research using birdsong to study migratory connectivity of Mourning Warbler song populations. Here is a link to the latest map with previous years’ results based on recordings from over 150 birders.

Audubon Society reporting http://www.audubon.org/magazine/spring-2017/this-guy-mapping-how-warblers-migrate-just These preliminary results continue to suggest moderate to low connectivity during migration with Western breeders separating from the rest of the other song populations. Eastern, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland song populations travel together along the Appalachian Mountains at least into Maine with some birds heading to the Atlantic Coast beginning in Maryland, Delaware and New Jersey. 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). https://mowasongmapper.weebly.com/ I would really appreciate your help and contributions this year to this Citizens Science Project.
