Olive-sided Flycatcher

Wet ground taken over by weedy or introduced plants after disturbance, such as common reed, Chinese tallow or tamarisk stands; the upland counterpart is roadsides, fields and disturbed ground.

Forests and open woodlands on dry ridges and slopes, often oak or pine.

Forests on low ground beside rivers and streams that flood from time to time.

Open, herb-covered wetlands with fresh, non-tidal water.

Bare or thin-soil rock on granite, gneiss, sandstone, quartzite and similar acidic rock, including granite flatrocks and domes.

Shady, evergreen forests of eastern or Carolina hemlock, often along rocky mountain streams and in gorges.

Treeless grassy or shrubby summits and ridges in the high mountains.

Ground opened by people: roadsides, old fields, pastures, fencerows and lots.

Steep, sun-baked slopes of loose shale with sparse oaks and Virginia pine and their own endemic wildflowers. Linked only where the source names shale barrens; calcareous shale stays with the limestone glades.

Cool, evergreen forests of red spruce and Fraser fir on the highest mountains.

Flowing water and its banks, bars and rocky shoals.

Planted or intensively managed stands of pine or hardwoods grown for timber; a land use rather than a natural community.

Open, wet, grassy or sedgy ground that is not a bog.
