This sounds like a worthwhile project. I recently saw this article from
Cornell about recording birds with a Smartphone:
https://www.allaboutbirds.org/how-to-record-bird-sounds-with-your-smartphone-our-tips/
I have downloaded and tried the (free) app RecForge II, as recommended here,
and it seems to work very well for recording birds in the field. (I have an
Android phone.)

Subject: [wisb] Request for assistance - recordings of migrating Mourning
Warbler songs
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).

Here is a link to the recent national Audubon Society story on this
research.

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.
