"Loss or fragmentation of large blocks of older, structurally complex forests may negatively impact this species. Overbrowsing by deer may suppress populations locally by reducing the shrub layer available for nesting (WDNR 2005). Loss of habitat on the wintering grounds in the West Indies also is suggested as a possible limiting factor (Holmes 1994)."
