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]

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. 🎃🐦⬛👕

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

One morning while recording in the Bois de Boulogne, a pair of peacocks flew up into a plane tree. They howled their piercing songs, adding their high-pitched voices to our recordings of the city soundscape. 🦚4/5
