The nests were in mixed wooded areas (1 above the roof of a tourist lodge), and were in a yellow birch, balsam fir, white spruce, and white birch. Two of the nests were under construction, another had been completed and deserted, and the fourth, which was collected (ROM 6975) on 23 June 1944, was without recorded details. One of the nests was being built in hanging usnea lichen; 1 was completely formed of usnea lichen; a third nest contained some leaves, had little or no usnea lichen, and was built among branchlets of a white spruce towards the end of a drooping lower branch at a height of m (16 ft). A fourth nest was being built of usnea lichen in a curl of bark attached to the trunk of a white birch at a height of 8 m (26 ft). A collected nest had an outside diameter of cm ( inches), inside diameter of cm ( inches), outside depth of 7 cm ( inches), and inside depth of cm (1 inch).
