What do sparrows’ songs reveal about love, parenting — and surprise conversations at the nest? Sarah Dobney is listening closely to find out.
Her passion for birdwatching took flight early and led her to the University of Windsor, where she’s now exploring the secret lives of Savannah Sparrows on a remote island in the Bay of Fundy.
Read on to learn how Dobney’s research is reshaping what we know about birds — and inspiring the next generation of young ecologists.

By Sara Elliott
University of Windsor researchers were flooded with so many responses to a medical gaslighting survey, they had to take breaks from reading the heartbreaking stories about patients being overlooked by medical providers for serious health concerns they were facing.
“A lot of people carry their pain in their thoughts, and through telling their stories,” says Ananya Sood behaviour, cognition and neuroscience student and one of the undergraduates on the project.
“It’s heavy as people share some of the worst moments of their life sometimes with you. But it has been powerful in that they were able to share their voice with us now.”
