Northwest Subregion (Focal Areas GL1–GL2; Figures 3–40 <strong>and</strong> 3–41; Table 3–10)<br />
General Description<br />
This subregion supports approximately 1% of the<br />
region’s <strong>and</strong> world’s <strong>Golden</strong>-<strong>winged</strong> <strong>Warbler</strong>s.<br />
The primary habitats for <strong>Golden</strong>-<strong>winged</strong> <strong>Warbler</strong>s<br />
in these focal areas are young aspen forests,<br />
aspen parkl<strong>and</strong>, <strong>and</strong> open oak/shrub savannah. It<br />
is notable that <strong>Golden</strong>-<strong>winged</strong> <strong>Warbler</strong>s occupy<br />
mature aspen forests where gap dynamics<br />
provide suitable nesting habitat (i.e. aspen<br />
parkl<strong>and</strong>). This ecology is unique to this<br />
subregion because aspen forest is the climax<br />
3–64<br />
community unlike in other parts of the range<br />
where it is succeeded by hardwood forest or<br />
other forest types. Blue-<strong>winged</strong> <strong>Warbler</strong>s have<br />
not been observed here <strong>and</strong> no <strong>Golden</strong>-<strong>winged</strong><br />
<strong>Warbler</strong> cryptic hybrids have been detected, so<br />
this is one of the last strongholds for pure<br />
<strong>Golden</strong>-<strong>winged</strong> <strong>Warbler</strong>s. There is high potential<br />
for creating suitable habitat via aspen harvesting<br />
<strong>and</strong> prescribed burning.<br />
Note: there was insufficient remotely sensed data to model <strong>Golden</strong>-<strong>winged</strong> <strong>Warbler</strong> habitat associations<br />
in this subregion.<br />
