First Report of Scoters ( Melanitta spp.) along Eastern Baffin Island, Nunavut, Canada
In September of 2017 and 2018, we observed hundreds of scoters (Melanitta spp.) in fiords in Arctic Canada, approximately 1100 – 1800 km north of their previous northernmost observations. Given the remote locations and timing of observations, we do not know if these represent previously undiscovered...
