CONSERVING BICKNELL'S THRUSH ON CANADIAN Bicknell's Thrush (BITH) is one of the most range-restricted neotropical migrants breeding in Eastern Canada, where ~ 38% of its global population (40,000-49,000 individuals) breeds. Substantial declines have been noted throughout its Canadian range; in the Maritimes, data indicates a 12% annual population decline between 2002-2011, and a 40% reduction in distribution of BITH over the last 20 years. The main threat facing BITH is loss and degradation of forest habitat. Bird Studies Canada and partners will immediately improve conservation for BITH in New Brunswick (NB; >400,000 acres) and Nova Scotia (NS; >160,000 acres) by addressing breeding habitat destruction and degradation occurring in industrial forest and other unprotected areas. The primary objectives are to (1) build upon relationships with timber companies to identify and implement longer term strategies that mitigate both mortality and habitat degradation, (2) conduct research to improve understanding of BITH use of industrial habitat and inform Better Management Practices for protection of BITH critical habitat; and (3) continue range-wide surveys to evaluate the success of conservation actions over the medium- and long-term.
