Chris Rimmer from The Vermont Center for Ecostudies will lead this informative program about the Bicknell's Thrush. The Bicknell's Thrush is among the landbird species of highest conservation concern in North America. A reare and geographically restricted habitat specialist of balsam fir-dominated forests, Bicknell's Thrush is estimated to number fewer than 50,000 individuals. The species is at risk from a variety of threats to its breeding habitats, including recreational development, telecommunications construction, wind power development and climatic warming.
