attempts. In addition to new survey routes, repeat surveys should be made in 

 spruce/fir forest types using routes covered by this study. Nest location and 

 nest site analysis are important so that management guidelines for these areas 

 can incorporate boreal habitat requirements for NFMA compliance. 



Site specific data on seasonal and yearly boreal habitat requirements are 

 needed on a long term basis to ensure a viable boreal population on forest 

 lands in the region.
