Site Description<\/h3>\n

This IBA is an area of extensive conifer wetlands and upland deciduous and mixed forests, mainly on Vilas County Forest lands.\u00a0 Flat basins host extensive muskegs of sphagnum, leatherleaf, sedges, and scattered small black spruce, tamarack, and jack pine, as well as a nearly continuous corridor of alder thicket along the Wisconsin River, which drains the center of the site.\u00a0 The barely rolling uplands have sandy soils and forests of white, red, and jack pine, aspen, and other hardwoods, with many \u201cislands\u201d of mature trees.<\/p>\n

Ornithological Importance<\/h3>\n

This site is important to lowland conifer breeding birds including spruce grouse, black-backed woodpecker, Nashville warbler, and Connecticut warbler.\u00a0 Deciduous and mixed forest species such as black-throated blue, black-throated green, Cape May, and Canada warblers also breed here.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
