The long and winding road

10,000 Birds

This population’s breeding range is covers much of the Eastern Arctic, from northern Labrador up to Ellesmere, in as far west as the Kivaliq region (Rankin Inlet, Arviat). Nests are usually made in a sheltered cleft in rocks. Five nestlings crowd this nest, well back in a cleft in the rocks, sheltered and hidden.
