Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)
This project explores how American Robins change their songs in response to human-made noise. I recorded robin songs across urban and quiet areas in Humboldt County to see if louder environments caused them to sing at higher pitches or volumes. Using sound analysis tools, I compared changes in song frequency and amplitude with background noise levels. This research helps us understand how noise pollution affects bird communication and can guide efforts to make urban spaces more wildlife-friendly.
