Dear all,
As some of you know, I have been working on Cerulean Warbler migration
ecology for several years. I am formulating a theory for the migration
strategy for this species and I need as many early spring Cerulean records
as I can get. 

I've gotten a number of records from e-bird, but I'd like to encourage folks
to specifically go out looking for Ceruleans STARTING NOW through late
April.

Your records can be sent directly to me, or submitted Cornell's ebird
website  <www.ebird.org>

GPS location is best, otherwise please include a description detailed enough
that I can guestimate the lat/long.

The judicious use of playback in known Cerulean Warbler breeding areas would
be appropriate to establish presence. (If a bird responds, please quit the
playback at that location.)

I would GREATLY appreciate your help with this. I'll be sending this plea to
all area list-serves.

Thank you in advance. Now you have another excuse to go birding!!

(I'll be making a similar request at the end of the breeding season.)
