Dear Ontario birders, This year we¹ve had a very successful breeding season in the captive population and we began releasing captive-reared juveniles on July 14th to augment the wild population! Releases are occurring at the captive breeding site in Carden and the newly established release site on the Napanee Plain (just north of Newburgh). All released individuals are banded with a YELLOW over a SILVER band on the left leg and two additional colour bands on the right leg. In addition, almost all wild birds are also now banded. Many of these birds will begin migrating soon and we¹re keen to learn more about where they go. PLEASE report any Loggerhead Shrike sightings to Wildlife Preservation Canada at tara at wildlifepreservation.ca, or on our toll-free number 1-800-956-6608. Please take a moment to look for bands on any shrike seen and report these with your sighting. Thank you in advance. Happy Birding! Tara
