Breeding
Their breeding habitat is the far north near the tree line in northwestern Canada and Alaska, also on the shores of Hudson Bay. They nest on the ground, in a well-concealed location in a marshy area. The female usually lays four eggs. Both parents look after the young birds, who find their own food and are able to fly within a month of hatching.
