Birds of the Boreal Forest

Stretching from Alaska to the Atlantic Ocean, North America’s Boreal Forest is one of the world’s largest intact forests. It accounts for 25% of the earth’s remaining forests, covers 1.4 billion acres, and is larger that the Brazilian Amazon

More than 300 bird species regularly breed in the boreal forest

Many of the birds that spend their summer breeding in the boreal forest are Neotropical migrants that spend the winter in the Southern U.S., Mexico, the West Indies, or Central or South America
