One of Central and North America’s most abundant and widely distributed diving duck is the Lesser Scaup! This species can be found in the Ottawa region during its seasonal migration to and from its breeding ground in the Boreal forest and Hudson Bay Lowlands.
Each week we introduce a new bird from the Ottawa-Gatineau area through our segment on CBC Radio’s In Town and Out. Alex MacDonald, Nature Canada’s Manager of Protected Areas, shares interesting facts about the birds that live in our communities. Be sure to tune-in to “Bird Tweet of the Week” on CBC Radio One 91.5 FM on Saturday mornings from 6am to 9am and listen to past episodes on our website.
This episode aired on Saturday, March 12th, 2016.
