- Abstract
As part of field investigations for the Voisey's Bay Mine Mill Environmental Assessment in 1995, baseline studies on Harlequin Ducks, Histrionicus histrionicus, were initiated around the proposed site on Labrador's north coast. During ground brood surveys in 1997, a Harlequin Duck nest was discovered. This was the second Harlequin Duck nest ever found in Labrador. The exact same site was used again in 1998 indicating favorable nesting habitat and repetitive nest-use for Harlequin Ducks in Labrador. This finding contributes to our meager knowledge of the species breeding habits in Labrador and has implications on future research.
