Common Eider

by intern on January 30, 2015 Comments Off on Common Eider

This is a Common Eider, a duck that lives off the coast of the upper half of North America. They feed on a variety of aquatic invertebrates, such as sea urchins and mollusks. The females are less colorful than the males, with a general brown coloration and black banding. This guy came in weak and lethargic, but is already responding well to treatment, and should hopefully be releasable soon.
