Habitat

Variety of wooded habitats, including open forests (conifer and deciduous), forest edges, and riparian zones (Bemis and Rising 1999). Also breeds in human altered habitats, such as gardens, farms, campgrounds, and transmission-line corridors (Campbell et al. 1997). In Alaska, mainly occurs in deciduous stands on forest edges and scrub forests (Kaufman 1996). In B.C., breeds from sea level to 1,700 m elevation (Campbell et al. 1997).
