I received an email outlining this research project and thought it may 
be of interest to some on this listserve.  Below is a summery of the 
project and a link to Dr. Whitehouse's web page..

"I am now conducting research into anthropological approaches to bird 
sounds, in conjunction with Tim Ingold.  This AHRC-funded project 
examines how people perceive bird sounds, how they identify sounds as 
being made by particular kinds of birds and how these sounds then 
become incorporated into people's lives.  Research will mostly be 
conducted in northeast Scotland but I am interested in human responses 
to bird sounds in any situation."
