Many birds call Copper River country home, at least in the summer |
|
| In spring, waterfowl flock in great numbers to the Copper River Delta, and on up to the lakes and marshes of the Copper River Valley. Swans, loons, grebes, mergansers, and ducks of many kinds raise their young here during the abundant months of summer, as do many warblers, sparrows, and raptors. Large trees along shores of major rivers host a thriving population of nesting bald eagles. Ravens--ubiquitous voices of the northland--seem to scoff at lesser species that flee the onset of winter. During the snow months, ravens are joined by gray jays, pine grosbeaks, chickadees, redpolls, ptarmigan, and a only a few other hardy winged companions. | ||
