[BCNnet] Boreal Forest Birds/Earth Day/Whiting, IN

[Carolyn A. Marsh]

During the winter months, birders enjoyed watching boreal ducks such as
scaups, scoters, buffleheads, common goldeneyes and mergansers along the
Lake Michigan shoreline. More than 300 different species of birds, including
these ducks, breed in the Canadian Boreal Forest.   

 

There is an excellent article in Bird Watcher's Digest - March/April 2008,
Birds of the Boreal Forest by Mel White. White interviews Jeffrey Wells,
Ph.D., the senior scientist for the Boreal Songbird Initiative.
