[mou-net] Request for assistance - recordings of migrating Mourning Warbler songs

[Jay Pitocchelli]

It is year 4 of this project and I am writing once again to post an opportunity 
to participate in a Citizens Science Project that involves recording migrating 
Mourning Warbler songs.  I am interested in whether different song populations 
of Mourning Warblers (Western, Eastern, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland) migrate 
together or separately to their respective areas of the species’ breeding 
range.   All you need is a smartphone with a voice recording app and some luck. 
 The web page link below describes the project and how to make recordings on 
your Smartphone in more detail.   There is also a link to the map with previous 
year’s results based on recordings from many volunteers.

Please send song recordings to the Mourning Warbler Sound Lab 
(jpitocchATanselm.edu).  

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

[mou-net] Request for assistance - recordings of migrating Mourning Warbler songs

[Jay Pitocchelli]

I am writing once again to ask the birding community for recordings of Mourning 
Warbler songs during spring migration.  It is an opportunity to participate in 
a Citizens Science Project with two specific goals.  1) Evaluate the use of 
birdsong as a new tool for studying bird migration. 2) Determine whether 
different song populations of Mourning Warblers (Western, Eastern, Nova Scotia, 
Newfoundland) migrate together or separately to their respective areas of the 
species’ breeding range.  This posting is for year three of this project.  I am 
making substantial progress and want to thank everyone who has contributed so 
far.  

All you need to contribute is a smartphone with a voice recording app and some 
luck. The web page link below describes the project and how to make recordings 
on your Smartphone in more detail (note - I have also been able to make 
recordings from videos that birders have sent me).

If you manage to get some recordings, please send them to the Mourning Warbler 
Sound Lab (jpitocchATanselm.edu).   I would really appreciate your help and 
contributions to this Citizens Science Project.
