Bird of the Week
White-winged Scoter
Melanitta fusca
White-winged Scoters winter in Puget Sound, preferring to forage for mollusks and crustaceans in deeper water than the two other species of scoters. Nearly 90% of White-winged Scoters breed in the Canadian boreal forest, where they build nests in heavy brush on land next to water.
Birding Site of the Week
Rockport State Park
North Cascades
Located on the upper stretches of the Skagit River, Rockport State Park is an interesting place to visit in winter. While songbirds may be sparse -- you might find Mountain Chickadees, Red Crossbills, and Steller's Jays -- you will not soon forget the sight of perhaps a hundred Bald Eagles feeding on chum salmon on the river.
