[3] [6] The area of occupancy of breeding territories by pairs is variable based on regional habitat composition. The highest recorded density of pairs was in California where each pair occurred on 1.3 km 2 (0.50 sq mi), which was actually just ahead of Puerto Rico where pair occupancy averaged 1.56 km 2 (0.60 sq mi) in peak habitat.
Breeding pair is a pair of animals which cooperate over time to produce offspring with some form of a bond between the individuals. [1] For example, many birds mate for a breeding season or sometimes for life. They may share some or all of the tasks involved: for example, a breeding pair of birds may split building a nest, incubating the eggs ...
For breeding habitat it requires large areas of young jack pine on sandy soil. Kirtland's warblers occur in greatest numbers in large areas that have been clear cut or where a large wildfire has occurred. [13] [26] For breeding they require stands of young (6 to 20 year old, 2–4 m high) jack pine trees. [17]

After the young birds fledge, they move to sleeping on branches. [12]
