Habitat: Mixed Coniferous Forest, Hemlock-Hardwood Forest.
Best birds: This fascinating area is a gem of the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest where a birder can walk trails and old logging roads among 100-foot-tall pines and hemlocks. You will notice the prehistoric calls of a Great Blue Heron rookery, please don’t disturb them during this important time in their life cycle. Many typical coniferous breeders are common, including Golden-crowned Kinglet, Hermit Thrush, and Black-throated Green, Blackburnian, and Pine Warbler. Red Crossbill can be found occasionally during any time of year. The surrounding area is a hemlock-hardwood forest where a variety of warblers, vireos, and other passerines are common breeders.
