Common Redpoll Seasonal Range

Habitat

Breeding habitat includes open subarctic, coniferous, mixed, and deciduous forest and scrub (spruce, alder, birch, willow, low tundra scrub). Only occurs in tundra where shrubby vegetation occurs in sheltered places. Avoids dense forests. Found from sea level to 1,350 m (Knox and Lowther 2000). In B. C., breeding habitat consists of subalpine willow thickets, mixed spruce and deciduous thickets at edge of openings and edge habitat along streams, rivers, wetlands (Campbell et al. 2001).
