Site Description<\/h3>\n

This IBA, located on private industrial forest land in Adams County, is home to the breeding sites for a pioneering population of the federally endangered Kirtland\u2019s warbler, which has been documented as breeding here since 2007, with at least 61 young fledged as of 2012.\u00a0 The site is characterized by extensive, mostly young red pine plantations with inclusions of jack pine, black oak, and northern pin oak, and scattered openings vegetated with Penn sedge, grasses, blueberry, and forbs.<\/p>\n

Ornithological Importance<\/h3>\n

Aside from containing the first documented nesting population of Kirtland\u2019s warbler in recorded Wisconsin history, this site also provides habitat for other young conifer forest and \u201cbarrens\u201d birds, including ruffed grouse, brown thrasher, Nashville warbler, field sparrow, clay-colored sparrow, and vesper sparrow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
