Brambling Seasonal Range

Habitat

Only breeding record of Brambling in Alaska on Attu Island. Habitat was dwarf shrub meadow (Sykes and Sonneborn 1998). Elsewhere habitat includes subalpine birch (Hogstad 2000) and Beech forests (Jenni 1986). Beech forests important feeding sites in Scandinavia (Jenni 1986, Lindstrom 1990, Jenni 1991).
