A conservation-bred eastern loggerhead shrike, born and raised last year at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nashvillezoo.org\/\">Nashville Zoo at Grassmere<\/a> (one of the program\u2019s partner breeding facilities in the U.S.) and released by Wildlife Preservation Canada from a specially-designed aviary in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.couchichingconserv.ca\/in-the-field\/the-carden-alvar\/\">Carden <\/a>in late August of 2019 has returned to Ontario!<\/p>\n<p><b>What this means<\/b><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p>This is a major milestone, not just for the shrike recovery program but for global songbird conservation, as it demonstrates that a bird that was born and raised in captivity in the southeastern U.S. can be transported across country, released in Canada and then migrate effectively and return to breeding grounds back near its release site the following year. If this can work for a shrike,\u00a0 our techniques could be adapted for other songbirds that need conservation intervention techniques like these to be brought back from the brink of extinction.<\/p>\n<p>This sighting also provides further evidence that the Loggerhead Shrike Conservation Breeding and Release Program is having a major impact for the species here in Canada.\u00a0Released birds made up over a third of the observed wild population in 2019, and half of the breeding pairs that were seen last year in Ontario contained at least one conservation-bred bird. This demonstrates the significant effect that the program is having on bolstering wild populations here.<\/p>\n<p><b>Mating and nesting<\/b><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p>This special shrike is currently with an unbanded wild mate in a suitable patch of grassland habitat near Ottawa and close to areas that were historically used by shrike. The pair has been carrying nesting material and spending a lot of their time bringing food to a large cedar tree, so it is quite likely that they have a nest. The \u201cNashville\u201d shrike was recognized and identified by the coloured leg band combination that the Recovery Team put on the bird last year before it was released. The Recovery Team will continue to monitor this pair, which carries the promise of a full nest of young, and we will let you know how they do.<\/p>\n<p>It is milestones like this that provide us all with energy and gratification for all of the hard work that goes into the shrike project each year to ensure that this attractive and unique songbird remains an important part of our Canadian landscapes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-av_one_full-7714eba142aeda1f8b5272a3c372b279 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_hr  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mm3uuu8n-90b9f62793cdd5ff9466be61247a72c2\">\n.avia-image-container.av-mm3uuu8n-90b9f62793cdd5ff9466be61247a72c2 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-mm3uuu8n-90b9f62793cdd5ff9466be61247a72c2 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-mm3uuu8n-90b9f62793cdd5ff9466be61247a72c2 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-10  el_before_av_hr  avia-builder-el-first'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-52333 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-52333 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/MajorMilestoneSongbirdRecovery_ShrikesInShrub_BruceDeLabio.png' alt='' title='MajorMilestoneSongbirdRecovery_ShrikesInShrub_BruceDeLabio'  height=\"738\" width=\"1019\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_hr-35d53d7be2491954ac97ecc375137ffb\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-av_hr-35d53d7be2491954ac97ecc375137ffb{\nheight:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-35d53d7be2491954ac97ecc375137ffb hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-11  el_after_av_image  el_before_av_textblock'><span class='hr-inner'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mm3uv4ma-9f344f36310100ec77046809c307275a'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>\u201cNashville\u201d shrike in its Ontario summering grounds, nesting with a mate. \u00a0 Photo courtesy of Bruce Di Labio.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_hr-3a876428eececa9d35452247ddb053af\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-av_hr-3a876428eececa9d35452247ddb053af{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-3a876428eececa9d35452247ddb053af hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_one_full  avia-builder-el-last'><span class='hr-inner'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_3'  class='avia-section av-av_section-c255ec14b78a368bb6b71c4b8da61d3d main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-14  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  blog-inner avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-17976'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_one_full-797d6728893cdc55557a7d7ad6dd81b4 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-15  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  author-section first flex_column_div'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-mm3uwjja-8bc3f3cfc7e105043c30a3f183900189'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Jane Hudecki<\/h3>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: left;\">Conservation Breeding Coordinator &#8211; Eastern Loggerhead Shrike Program<\/h5>\n<p>ane holds a Master\u2019s degree in Animal\u00a0Biosciences from the University of Guelph, where she studied building\u00a0collision injuries in migratory songbird species.
