414 • INFONORTH Distribution and Habitat Requirements of Scoters in the Mackenzie Delta Region
SEVERAL YEARS AGO, Gwich’in hunters and eldersbegan to wonder why “black ducks ” (the local namefor white-winged scoters Melanitta fusca and surf scoters M. perspicallata) were less common than they had been previously. Wildlife biologists across North America have voiced similar concerns. Questions...
