Conversations for Conversation: Loggerhead Shrike - On the Brink of Disappearance in Ontario

Join us for the last Conversation for Conservation of 2024 with Wildlife Preservation Canada to learn about their Eastern Loggerhead Shrike Program. 

The Eastern Loggerhead Shrike is a migratory subspecies that breeds only in Ontario and is on the brink of disappearance. With less than 100 individuals counted annually in recent years, a hands-on approach is necessary to prevent the extirpation of this unique predatory songbird. Since 2003, Wildlife Preservation Canada has lead a multi-faceted approach to the conservation of the loggerhead shrike - monitoring and protecting the wild population, conducting habitat restoration, and releasing captive-bred shrikes into the wild. 

Find out what is involved in the program, its success stories and what you can do to help!
