The Pacific harlequin is the only duck in the world that divides its time between the torrential, cold mountain streams of Glacier National Park and the heavy surf of coastal waters.  Sharing the breeding pattern of the salmon, harlequins return each year to the same stream where they hatched in order to mate.  Come with us as we visit McDonald Creek where an impressive number of these secretive birds return each spring.
