Which bird in the duck family uses nest boxes?

common scoter
red-breasted merganser
common goldeneye
long-tailed duck
Their breeding habitat is the taiga. They are migratory and spend most of winters in protected coastal waters or open inland waters at more temperate latitudes. Naturally, they nest in cavities in large trees, where they return year after year, though they will readily use nest boxes as well.
