Habitat

Breeds in forested freshwater wetland systems (Dugger et al. 1994), including rivers, lakes, marshes, streams, sloughs, and beaver ponds (Campbell et al. 1990). Winters on shallow, freshwater and brackish bays, estuaries, and tidal creeks and ponds, where they often concentrate along the edges of ice (e.g., Veit and Petersen 1993, Sibley 1993).
