Restoring healthy #GreatLakes.  Today Faculty of Science researchers received support from Environment and Climate Change Canada in support of ongoing research at GLIER and Freshwater Restoration Ecology Centre to support research on preserving and protecting Great Lakes.

My favourite undergraduate club, the UWindsor Ornithology Club, has a great table at today's University of Windsor Clubs Fest.

Full house at last night’s keynote at #AOS2024 as Christian Cooper discussed inclusive birding through #BirdNamesforBirds 🐦‍⬛🦉. Looking forward to more cool bird science and inclusive practices today.

Thank you ICOMVIS for the invitation to share my postdoc research in the 40th Anniversary Celebration! Happy to meet with old and new friends and colleagues 🇨🇷🇨🇦🎶🦜🐦‍⬛🦉

Our new paper is out in Behavioral Ecology: “Neighbors affect vocal behavior of tropical wrens: a multispeaker density-manipulation experiment” doi.org/10.1093/beheco… Check out what we found (🧵1/5)

“Every window makes a difference, if it’s a window that kills a bird.” A reporter from The Windsor Star found a window-killed migratory bird. He reached out to chat about window kills. Check it out: windsorstar.com/news/local-new…

New project on wren feather colour 🪶🎨🐦🇨🇷🇨🇦 with Dan Mennill Dan Mennill and a collaboration with Stephanie Doucet. More updates soon!

I've enjoyed an inspiring visit to MSU these last two days, talking about vocal learning in sparrows, and sharing ideas about biology and ornithology. Thank you Kevin McGraw and your great department!

This Hallowe'en I taught my Ecology class dressed as the symbiotic relationship between Bullhorn Acacias and Acacia Ants. Happy Hallowe'en! 🎃

Yesterday morning, I noticed my students were wearing unusually nice shirts. It wasn’t until our lab meeting that I realized what was going on. It was a Hallowe'en send up; they were wearing the sort of shirts favoured by their supervisor. Hilarious! Happy Halloween, team. 🎃🐦‍⬛👕

Last weekend I had the pleasure to deliver the guest lecture at the annual fundraising dinner of the Bruce Peninsula Bird Observatory. What a dedicated group of naturalists, conservationists, and bird enthusiasts! Thank you for inviting me. [📷 T. Havelka]

Our new paper is in today's issue of Ornithology: "Effects of age, breeding strategy, population density, and number of neighbors on territory size and shape in Savannah Sparrow". Led by undergrad Sarika Sharma and our collaborative team. Read it here: tinyurl.com/3zxssu99
