Abstract
Twenty-nine nests in several parts of Minnesota and Wisconsin were compared. Nests were primarily in the oak-aspen sere, 35 years old and older. Nesting density was about one pair per 2 square miles (3.2 km2). Nests were in the first suitable crotch in the lower one-third of the canopy, within 408 feet (124 m) of an upland opening and within 468 feet (143 m) of a wet area.
