White-winged
Scoter - Melanitta deglandi
The
white-winged scoter is a saltwater duck. This duck likes to stay in
deep water. The drake white-winged scoter is all black in color. It
has white feathers around the eye region. It also has white feathers
on the back middle part of its wings. Its feet and its bill are pink
and black in color. The hen is similar to a harlequin hen, and it is
brown in color.
The
white-winged scoter is a duck that prefers the deep water. It dives
more often than other ducks. It is also very hard to pluck their
feathers.
During
the winters, they are seen in great numbers around the village. When
spring comes, their numbers decline. They spend their summers up in
northern Alaska, and they return to Atka once again in the
fall.
They
are strong ducks. When the are shot, they dive underwater not to be
seen again. They do not nest around this area. They go north to their
nesting ground to have their eggs there. They usually lay about nine
to fourteen pinkish eggs.
