Habitat

In the Yukon, found most frequently in mature, spruce dominated forests during the breeding season (Alexander et al. 2003). In Alaska, occurs wherever spruce forests exists, also found in mixed coniferous- deciduous woodlands and shrub thickets (Armstrong 2008) and favors intermediate levels of canopy coverage (Kessel 1998). In B.C., breeds from sea level along the coast to 2,070 m in the interior (Campbell et al. 2001).
