Dr. Bridget Stutchbury is a professor in the Department of Biology at York University, Toronto. Since the 1980s, she has studied migratory songbirds to understand their behaviour, ecology and conservation but has also witnessed first-hand the shocking declines of many birds including wood thrushes, barn swallows and bobolinks. She studies the incredible migration journeys of songbirds and the many threats they face along the way.<\/p>\n

She did her M.Sc. at Queen\u2019s University and her Ph.D. at Yale, and was a postdoctoral fellow at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C.<\/p>\n

She was the President and Board Chair as well as the Co-Chair for the Conservation Committee of Wildlife Preservation Canada, before joining the Scientific Advisory Council. She is author of Silence of the Songbirds (2007) and The Bird Detective (2010) and was featured in the award-winning 2015 documentary The Messenger.<\/p>\n
