Long-tailed Duck, m
The tundra is the breeding home of many bird species including the Long-tailed Duck. For me, the predominant sounds of the tundra include the melodious bugle call of the male. Every few minutes, this very territorial little guy's call could be heard as he claimed his space. He is full of ATTITUDE and thinks nothing of chasing off birds twice his size such as the Eider.
