Lake of the Woods Subregion (Focal Area GL3; Figures 3–42 and 3–43; Table 3–11)
General Description
This focal area supports approximately 2% of the
region’s and world’s Golden-winged Warblers.
The primary habitats in this area are young aspen
forest, aspen parkland, and oak/pine barrens.
3–67
Blue-winged Warblers and hybrids are rare here,
so this is one of the last strongholds for pure
Golden-winged Warblers. Populations appear to
be increasing naturally in this area.
Note: there was insufficient remotely sensed data to model Golden-winged Warbler habitat associations
in this subregion.
