Habitat

Breeds in low tundra vegetation along the shorelines of major rivers and small braided streams, shorelines of small tundra ponds, and on islands in tundra ponds and lakes of the Y-K Delta (Mowbray et al. 2002). Restricted to inland areas beyond the influence of tides, populations extends inland up to the North Slope (Johnson et al. 1979, Jarvis and Bromley 1998).
