Eastern Ontario Subregion (Focal Areas GL9–GL11; Figures 3–48 and 3–49; Table 3–14)
General Description
The focal areas in this subregion support
approximately 3% of the region’s and world’s
Golden-winged Warblers. They are most
commonly found where the landscape is a mosaic
of abandoned and marginal farmland, rock
3–76
barrens, wetlands, and forest (Vallender 2007).
Major threats in these areas are natural
succession and Blue-winged Warbler
encroachment.
Note: there was insufficient remotely sensed data to model Golden-winged Warbler habitat associations
in this subregion.
