What habitat do hoary redpolls live in?

Hoary redpolls (Acanthis hornemanni) are small passerine birds found in North America and northern Europe. They prefer open habitats, such as tundra, meadows, and shrublands, during the breeding season. In the winter, they move to more sheltered areas, such as forests, woodlands, and even urban areas. Hoary redpolls typically nest in low shrubs and trees, and they feed primarily on seeds, buds, and insects.
