Status Overview:
Bicknell's Thrush
is of concern because of habitat change, low numbers, patchy distribution,
and low reproductive potential. However, little is known about this
secretive species. It breeds in Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and the
northeastern United States. In Nova Scotia, it is currently restricted
largely to Cape Breton Island, although historically it was found on a few
offshore islands in the southwest part of the province. Habitat has been
altered in Nova Scotia over the last century by infestations of spruce
budworm and forest management practices.
