Habitat

Breeds in open country, generally avoiding heavily forested land (Bent 1942). Breeding also occurs in or around buildings or other man-made structures (Campbell et al. 1997). In Alaska, found near cliffs in mountains and uplands (Armstrong 2008). Also nests along banks of rivers and lakes, canyons, rocky outcroppings, and mountainsides (Campbell et al. 1997). Usually nests near water (Alexander et al. 2003). In B.C., breeds between 270 and 1,860 m elevation (Campbell et al. 1997).
