. Breeding birds of Ontario : nidiology and distribution. Birds; Birds; Birds. Fig. 159 Fig. 159 Boreal Forest habitat. Although this region dominated by spruce trees extends across Canada and covers more than a third of Ontario, comparatively few bird species live in the unbroken stretches of forest. A larger variety of species are found in openings that allow the sunlight to penetrate and the vegetation to diversify, be they openings created by fires, logging, and blow downs, or clearings naturally occurring near wet areas such as bogs and rivers.
