ShadowClan territory

Toward where the sun rises, ShadowClan claims the pine forest. Their camp is found in its heartland.

Description
The territory is a coniferous woodland with predominantly pine, fir, and spruce trees. They seem to be spaced evenly, a few tail-lengths apart. Towards the carrionplace, felled conifers are often cut down by Twolegs, though this attracts russet deer, followed by pipits and greenleaf nightjars. Ant mounds filled with tens of thousands red ants stand tall as conical, usually on the edge of a clearing or in felled land.

Prey
Grey squirrels can be found scampering about the woodland floor or jump between the canopy. They dislike being disturbed by hunting patrols. In newleaf and greenleaf they eat small seeds; cats can find regular eating spots near nests by looking for stripped cones beneath the trees or the remains of single cones. Woodcocks fly at sun-up and sundown at tree-top height, though can be found at night scavenging the forest floor for insects. Vivid red crossbills live around pine and spruce trees, flitting from cone to cone, and make repetitive 'chip-chip' calls. Like crossbills, the size of nightjars does not make for easy prey, though when caught they can fill the bellies of warriors. Pipits may be caught eating berries during in leaf-fall.

Threats
Foxes like to sleep atop comfortable nests of pine needles, usually in the open. Tawny owls use dense foliage in the trees to shelter from winter, though sparrowhawk nests are lower in the canopy. Hobbies, kestrels, and buzzards can also be found in the conifers.
