Habitat
They live in coniferous or mixed coniferous-deciduous forests. Nests are made in the branches near the trunk snd typically near the top. Nests are made of leaves, moss, and sticks glued together with mud. The nest is lined with pine needles, soft roots or animal hair.
Ecology
They are generalists and will eat almost anything including insects, seeds, berries, nuts, small animals, eggs, nestlings, garbage, unguarded picnic items, peanuts, sunflower seeds, and suet. They will steal from other birds and accept handouts from humans freely.
