David Logue's lab at the University of Lethbridge. We study bird song from an evolutionary perspective. Our main interests are interactive communication, song repertoires, and vocal performance.
I'm stoked to see's new YouTube channel, "Birdbrain Q&A" www.youtube.com/@BirdbrainQA...
Birdbrain Q&A
Q&A sessions for the bird-curious. . . where no question is too flighty.
Hosted by ornithologist Lauryn Benedict and author Pam Moore. Produced and edited by Jill Dugan.

Here's an upgraded version of the dawn chorus visualization I posted the other day. It now plays the songs in real time, and makes song type matches more conspicuous. Leave your suggestions in the comments!

Exited about our first dynamic map of Adelaide's warblers' dawn chorus! Males sing many song types (colors & numbers) from the tops of tall trees in their territories. Here, you can see how they match one anothers' song types, causing songs 8, 3, 9, 21, and 5 to spread around the neighbourhood.

Excited to be in Poland, giving a series of talks at the University of Warsaw!
Today I'll talk about reseach old (duets) and new (dawn chorus). Tomorrow, it's how to make your academic slides slightly less boring 😄

I usually write about the science of bird song and keep the spiritual side to myself. But when Psyche asked me to write about "listening deeply to birdsong," I went to my favorite coffee shop and poured out 2000 words on meditation and bird song.
