Habitat

Coniferous and deciduous forest, forest edge, clearings, bogs, open woodland, brushy areas adjacent to forest, and burned-over lands (AOU 1983). In Alaska, breeding habitat consists of old growth to earlier seral stages. Absent from closed dense canopy cover with low light, scant ground cover. Most abundant in shrub/forb and sapling/shrub, lakeshore old growth, and muskeg (Kessler and Kogut 1985). Occur on densely forested Alaskan islands, beaches, and epiphytic growth along streams (Miller 1941).
