Rocky Mountain Juniper Woodlands: Year-Round Avian Habitat
Hull Sieg C. 1991. Rocky Mountain Juniper Woodlands: Year-Round Avian Habitat. RM-296. USDA Forest Service. Fort Collins, CO
"Birds were sampled monthly for two years in Rocky Mountain juniper (Juniperus scopulorum) woodlands and in adjacent grasslands. Total numbers and species richness were consistently higher in every season in juniper stands than on grasslands. Rocky Mountain juniper stands provide food and thermal cover in the winter; migratory corridors in the fall and spring; and feeding, nesting and perching sites in the summer."
