Montane hardwood habitat typically consists of an evergreen hardwood tree layer, a patchy shrub layer, and sparse herbaceous cover.

But lumbering continues despite these obstacles; indeed, a single hardwood tree may be worth thousands of dollars.

Their nests are cup-shaped, and are placed on a horizontal branch high in a hardwood tree.

They feed on epiphytic growth on hardwood tree trunks, branches, and leaves.

The immatures can frequently be found on herbaceous shrubs and grasses, whereas the adults more often frequent hardwood tree species.
