Comments: In winter, this species occurs primarily in marine situations that are marshy, along lagoons and estuaries, and on shallow bays (AOU 1998), often in areas with eelgrass (e.g., see Wilson and Atkinson 1995). Areas dominated by large freshwater lakes and estuaries provide important summer molting areas (Derksen and Ward 1993).
Nesting occurs mostly on coastal tundra, in low and barren terrain; on islands, deltas, lakes, and sandy areas among puddles and shallows, and in vegetated uplands. In western North America, preferred nest sites are one peninsulas or islets in large wetland complexes, some of which are subject to tidal action (Derksen and Ward 1993). Nests are on the ground in a depression lined, or built up, with mosses and lichens. Adults with broods move from colony sites to rearing habitats along tidal flats (Derksen and Ward 1993).
