Black Scoter - Melanitta nigra

The common scoter is a saltwater duck. At one time, they were very numerous in this area. Nowadays, they are fewer in number. The drake has black feathers and a yellowish knob on top of its bill. The hen, on the other hand, is all brown.

The common scoters make a whistling sound. They are sometimes heard even if they are not visible. They are smaller in size compared to the white-winged scoter. They are harder to hunt than the white-winged scoter because they spook very easily. They are among the better eating ducks of the saltwater birds.

They spend the winters here in the Aleutians. They arrive in the fall and return to where they came from in the spring. They go north to their nesting grounds. They do not nest around this area.
