releasing their young to boost the wild population. Within just a few years of launching our field breeding program, we saw one of the released birds successfully migrate and return to breed with a wild shrike. This achievement was a first for a migratory songbird conservation breeding effort and brought international acclaim to the program. Since then, we\u2019ve seen many birds returning to Ontario, often breeding and contributing more young birds to the wild population.<\/p>\n<p>We house these shrikes in large enclosures situated out in the field. This exposes the young to natural habitat, including predators and prey, and allows them to develop a full range of survival skills. As part of our soft-release technique, we continue to provide some food after the young are released. Wildlife Preservation Canada coordinates the conservation breeding and release program, which includes several partners that provide breeding and overwintering facilities. Currently we release young in the Napanee and Carden plains, to supplement existing wild populations in these two core areas.<\/p>\n<h3>Population monitoring<\/h3>\n<p>We track the number of shrikes in the wild through habitat surveys, nest monitoring and colour-banding, giving us insights into return rates, population size, movements between core areas and the success of the breeding and release program. We couldn\u2019t do this without the help of our Adopt-A-Site survey volunteers. If you\u2019d like to become involved, <a href=\"https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/fr\/contact-us\/\">Contactez-nous<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>You can checkout our most recent results from the 2025 survey <a href=\"https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Adopt-A-Site-Summary-2025.pdf\">ici<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Habitat stewardship<\/h3>\n<p>The shortgrass habitat that shrikes need is found mainly on private land. For many years, we have worked with landowners to protect and enhance shrike habitat on their property, ensuring that shrikes have suitable nesting sites and hunting grounds.<\/p>\n<p>Our research has identified the habitat features that shrikes need: from the nest tree, territory and habitat patch to landscape-level requirements. In addition, we are investigating nest predation to identify which species are the biggest threat and how habitat plays a role. The results from our ongoing research are used to improve our practices and stewardship guidelines for shrike, and we share this knowledge widely.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Identifying migratory routes and wintering grounds<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Although little is known about shrike migration and wintering behaviour, it appears that the biggest causes behind the decline of this species are occurring outside Canada.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why we are working with U.S. conservation partners and applying the latest tracking technologies to learn where eastern loggerhead shrikes spend the winter and what routes they take to get there. With this information in hand, we can then work with our U.S. partners to identify and confront threats during migration and overwintering to reverse declines.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cpsg.org\/content\/conservation-strategy-eastern-loggerhead-shrike-and-scp-workshop-report\">2024 Conservation Strategy for the Eastern Loggerhead Shrike and SCP Workshop Report now available.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lfk12r2k-27ccce3ff3c97ecb9c013a4767a26bb8\">\n#top .togglecontainer.av-lfk12r2k-27ccce3ff3c97ecb9c013a4767a26bb8 p.toggler{\nfont-size:21px;\ncolor:#ffffff;\nbackground-color:#50863d;\nborder-color:#50863d;\n}\n#top .togglecontainer.av-lfk12r2k-27ccce3ff3c97ecb9c013a4767a26bb8 p.toggler.activeTitle{\ncolor:#2e2e2e;\nborder-color:#2e2e2e;\nbackground-color:#ffffff;\n}\n#top .togglecontainer.av-lfk12r2k-27ccce3ff3c97ecb9c013a4767a26bb8 p.toggler .toggle_icon{\ncolor:#ffffff;\nborder-color:#ffffff;\n}\n#top .togglecontainer.av-lfk12r2k-27ccce3ff3c97ecb9c013a4767a26bb8 p.toggler .toggle_icon > span{\ncolor:#ffffff;\nborder-color:#ffffff;\n}\n#top .togglecontainer.av-lfk12r2k-27ccce3ff3c97ecb9c013a4767a26bb8 p.toggler.activeTitle .toggle_icon, #top .togglecontainer.av-lfk12r2k-27ccce3ff3c97ecb9c013a4767a26bb8 p.toggler.activeTitle .toggle_icon > span{\ncolor:#50863d;\nborder-color:#50863d;\n}\n#top .togglecontainer.av-lfk12r2k-27ccce3ff3c97ecb9c013a4767a26bb8 .toggle_wrap .toggle_content{\ncolor:#ffffff;\nbackground-color:#50863d;\nborder-color:#50863d;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='togglecontainer av-lfk12r2k-27ccce3ff3c97ecb9c013a4767a26bb8 av-elegant-toggle  avia-builder-el-20  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last  toggle_close_all' >\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-lfk0serz-fe64bd798f6a5f059d9ac8efb33545e5'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p id='toggle-toggle-id-1' data-fake-id='#toggle-id-1' class='toggler  av-title-above av-inherit-border-color'  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-1' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"Results\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: Results\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: Results\">Results<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-1' aria-labelledby='toggle-toggle-id-1' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color av-inherit-border-color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>The shrike recovery program has seen a number of successes to date. We are learning more about the threats to the wild population, and thousands of acres of habitat have been restored or improved.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2003, the conservation breeding program has released over 1,300 young birds in Ontario!<\/p>\n<p>Not only are many of these birds returning the following spring, some are returning year after year. In 2012, for example, a six-year-old female released in 2006 returned to pair with a wild male \u2014 solid evidence that the field breeding and release techniques are working.<\/p>\n<p>Up to 36% of shrikes spotted in the wild have been birds released from our conservation breeding program in previous years. The majority of these birds pair successfully with wild mates and contribute a significant number of young to the wild population.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, we continue to gather clues about where our Ontario birds go during the winter, and how they get there. So far, we have evidence that a portion of Ontario eastern loggerhead shrikes winter in both the north- and south-eastern United States, and there is a clear link with the Virginias, with birds banded in Ontario seen in Virginia, and vice versa. Tracking data has so far revealed two potential migratory strategies in Ontario, with some birds heading southwest to pass in to the U.S. around Windsor, and others appearing to head more directly south to hop across Lake Ontario. Lately we\u2019ve also tracked birds migrating through Pennsylvania during both their spring and fall migrations, and with each year of tracking data collected the picture of shrike movements to and from Ontario is coming into clearer focus.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-lfk0tnje-fce5aee9fd0ca19f2a03db7d36dd43f9'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p id='toggle-toggle-id-2' data-fake-id='#toggle-id-2' class='toggler  av-title-above av-inherit-border-color'  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-2' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"Impact\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: Impact\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: Impact\">Impact<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-2' aria-labelledby='toggle-toggle-id-2' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color av-inherit-border-color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>We have proven that we can breed shrikes capable of surviving and thriving in the wild. Birds released from our conservation breeding program have successfully migrated south and returned to Ontario at a rate at least as high as their wild-born counterparts. According to population viability analyses conducted in 2009 and 2015, conservation breeding alone is unlikely to restore the wild population to a self-sustaining level. However, the release of young birds has certainly had a stabilizing effect and the situation would be even worse without the breeding effort. The graph below shows the number of birds that have been found in the wild in the two main core areas, Carden and Napanee, since Wildlife Preservation Canada took over program coordination.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-37170 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/2016\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/release-graph.jpg\" alt=\"shrike population over time\" width=\"638\" height=\"228\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/release-graph.jpg 638w, https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/release-graph-300x107.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 638px) 100vw, 638px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Releases began in Carden in 2005 and in Napanee in 2012, and populations in each area nearly doubled in the years following those efforts. Though it\u2019s difficult to attribute those upturns in the population to any one factor, the release of juveniles has certainly had a positive effect on the numbers of birds we\u2019ve seen in the wild, as birds coming from the conservation breeding program have averaged 20-30% of the wild population in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>So far, the conservation breeding program is doing its job: keeping eastern loggerhead shrike present in Canada while we work to discover and address the causes of loss during the migration cycle. Once we address those causes, the conservation breeding will be an essential tool in helping the wild population begin to grow again.<\/p>\n<p>The techniques we have developed can also be applied beyond eastern loggerhead shrikes. An external review of the conservation breeding program in 2008 suggested that it would ultimately provide a model for future recovery programs for other shrikes in North America and \u2014 even more broadly \u2014 for other migratory songbirds at risk.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-lfk10lmc-34b79265f3c902a9d81230b10f3bd312'  itemscope=\"itemscope\"
