I recorded Wilson's warblers in the area of Yuba pass, route 49,
Sierra Ca., in 1995. The birds with territories near the highway,
which was used by logging trucks, sang very loud songs compared to
other males much farther from the road. These were personal
observations from the gain level settings on the recorder and the over
loading of the mic and unfortunately not based on actual SPL
measurements. However, that would be a great place to test this
hypothesis.

be a help for understanding bird communication in noise.
