Occurring in conifer forests in coastal northern California, and most of the mountain ranges, north through the Pacific Northwest, into southern British Colombia, Canada, east into the Rocky Mountains in Idaho and Montana, south to the ‘sky islands’ in Arizona and New Mexico.
This species is common in conifer forests across much of its range; population is widespread, and no sign of decline have been noted.
Population Trend: Stable
