'''Habitat:''' North America; throughout the Eastern US. '''Summer Range:''' Breeds in eastern North America, from southern Ontario, southwestern Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia southward to northern Florida, westward to the eastern parts of the Great Plains in Texas, to eastern Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, and South Dakota. May be slowly expanding its range northward. '''Winter Range:''' In lowlands of Central America, from southern Mexico to western Panama; rarely in southeastern United States. Found in dense woodland habitats.

'''Status:''' ~~Vulnerable;~~ its susceptibility to cowbird parasitism has made it a heavily studied species. Even though it is one of the most common species of Eastern forests, the Wood Thrush is of high conservation concern because of steady, long-term population declines, nearly throughout its range. This species has declined 43% overall since 1966. This species seems to be dependent on large tracts of mature forest in some parts of its range, but is tolerant of disturbance in other areas. In winter, it is highly vulnerable to tropical deforestation in the lowlands of Central America. Understanding the precise breeding habitat requirements of this species, and how they vary geographically, will be important for reversing population declines and maintaining future populations.

'''Status:''' Least Concern. '''Global Population:''' 14,000,000 Mature individuals. There is some concern to its susceptibility to cowbird parasitism has made it a heavily studied species.
