According to a 2013 study in the journal
Avian Conservation and Ecology,
it’s estimated that in Nova Scotia up to
160,000 nests are destroyed annually
by logging operations during the breeding
season, (New Brunswick’s numbers
are similar) with the potential loss to the
next generation of tens of thousands of
young. This occurs despite the Migratory Birds
Convention Act (MBCA), a statute that prohibits
the destruction of nests during breeding season. But when
it comes to the cutting of woodlands, it is rarely enforced.
Simply put, it gets harder every year for migrant forest birds
to successfully breed. Is it time to have
a short “silent season” in late spring/
early summer when industrial activity
takes a brief break for nesting birds?
Every spring we welcome back
throngs of songbirds to the region’sforests
, as neo-tropical migrants of every
shape, size, and colour lift our spirits with a
serenade that grows a little quieter each passing
year. By truly adopting in both spirit and practice
ecologically sensitive, sustainable forestry practices
we can ensure that this wondrous natural event can continue
indefinitely.
“With humans’ rampant resource utilization, such places are
getting harder to find for breeding birds”
