Hello to all, The Eastern Loggerhead Shrike Recovery Program is nearing the end of another successful season. The captive breeding program has released over 100 juvenile shrikes again this summer in Ontario. Productivity has also been relatively high in the wild population.
As our young birds begin their southward migration, I would like to remind everyone to please report any shrike sightings to Wildlife Preservation Canada (see contact details below). Please pay particular attention to any leg band combinations - we are especially interested in any birds wearing a green colour band, as these are birds released from our captive-breeding program. We thank you for your help!
