Abstract

 This note describes the status of the Ruddy Duck (Oxyura jamaicensis) as breeding in Alaska and updates the northwest extent of the species’ breeding range in North America. That distribution now includes wetlands just south of the Arctic Circle, within the Yukon Flats National Wildlife Refuge (NWR).
