Fall and Winter Movements of Newfoundland Graycheeked Thrushes (Catharus Minimus Minimus)

The Newfoundland subspecies of Gray-cheeked Thrush (Catharus minimus minimus) has declined since the 1980s and degradation of winter habitat has been suggested as a contributing stressor. However, the winter range of this subspecies is not well understood, so we fitted 29 males with archival GPS tag...
