Why it matters
The King Eider is a striking sea duck of the high Arctic, notable for the male's elaborate, colorful head plumage and distinctively broad wings. Collectors prize these birds for the complex, sculptural forms of the male's cranial profile, which remains one of the most unique biological silhouettes among northern waterfowl.
