Habitat

Mature coniferous and mixed coniferous-deciduous forests (Martin 1960, Franzreb 1978, Noon et al. 1980, Sabo 1980, Douglas et al. 1992). In northern part of range, found in areas where conifers intergrade with aspen and willow forests (Drury 1953, Theberge 1976). Much less common in early successional stages of coniferous forests (Parker et al. 1994) and in hardwoods (Holmes et al. 1986). Found from lowland valleys to treeline in the Yukon (Alexander et al. 2003).
