Habitat

Breeding habitat is in wetland openings in and along edges of boreal forests, particularly around lakes, muskegs, and marshes (Godfrey 1986). Nests are usually <100 m from water (Peck and James 1983) and in conifer trees, often scattered trees on islands in lakes (Campbell et al. 1990). In B.C. breeds from 305 to 1,318 m in elevation (Campbell et al. 1990).
