Abstract
The song repertoire of the Pine Warbler (Dendroica pinus) was investigated in Bastrop, Grimes, and Montgomery counties in east-central Texas. The Pine Warbler, formerly credited with only two note types, was found to sing at least 22 distinct note types. These note types appeared singly or in combination, as songs. Song recordings were analyzed for repertoire size using the exponential and power model calculations. Markov analysis revealed non-random sequencing of note types which can be predicted by a first order process. Note and note-transition types were identified to be of greater number and variety than previously reported for this species.
