This habitat is usually found between 2,000 and 3,000 meters in elevation.
The forest here consist mostly of conifers, and there may be snowfall during
cold months. The diversity of bird life here is slightly less than that
of mid-altitude mixed forests, but a number of species are found only in
this habitat or higher. The trails around Hohuanshan and Tayuling provide
easy access to this habitat, as do trails at Anmashan, near Big Snow Mountain,
and Tsuyuan on the Ilan branch of the Central Cross-island Highway. The
best season for birding in this habitat is probably spring or summer, though
different seasons provide a different birding atmosphere for all forested
habitats.
...and numerous hawks and passerines during migration season.
