Both panels show the Black Dome ridgeline (and surrounding mountains) in the Catskills of New York. The top panel shows the estimated extent of the high-elevation spruce-fir forest, outlined in purple. The white lines are hiking trails. High-elevation species like Bicknell’s Thrush are likely found throughout the area outlined in purple. This imagery is from Google Earth. The bottle panel shows the same area, with an image created by eBird on 8/3/2023. The blue markers in the bottom panel show where Bicknell’s Thrush have been previously reported to eBird. Incredibly, there has only been a single checklist reporting Bicknell’s Thrush within this area to eBird within the last decade.
