Two brown female Common Eiders paddling closely together in turbulent, white-capped blue ocean water.
No kings required! 🙅♀️👑 Male Common Eiders abandon all parenting duties after the eggs are laid. Instead, the females form tight-knit communities to raise the ducklings together. Just two besties taking a well-deserved break on the waves! 🌊🤎

Common Eider (Somateria mollissima)
one other guy from the Jasmund Park seaside is this duck…I know that birds are almost dinosaurs but the shape of his head is still WOW for me, and of course those sounds they are making!

A mottled brown female Common Eider flying low and fast over rippling blue water, showing her wings fully extended on the downstroke.
Big duck, little wings! 🦆💨 As the largest duck in the Northern Hemisphere, the Common Eider has a heavy body with relatively short wings. This means they cannot glide. To stay airborne, they just have to flap frantically - turning them into 50+ mph speed demons! 🌊🚀

Two sea-ducks cruise towards us on the ocean. They have large bills in a yellowed bone color, and the younger has a dark head and white body, while a female behind is brown.

A female Common Eider with warm brown, intricately patterned feathers swimming quietly on the surface of the blue ocean.
She might look soft and peaceful, but this female Common Eider has a hardcore diet 🦀. These sea ducks dive deep to the ocean floor to hunt for mussels, clams, and crabs. They swallow their seafood whole - shell and all - and then crush them in their gizzards! 🤯🌊

… and don’t even get me started on Buffleheads 😊😊😊
A late #BirdOfTheDay offering for today’s #ducklings prompt
We’re back in the rocky Atlantic at #Marblehead, Mass with a mama #CommonEider and her little ones (I assume).
The #Eiders are actually “common” in these cold, turbulent waters. I marvel at how well adapted they are to this habitat.

Female common eider
A female common eider just off the coast of southern Maine. We saw dozens of these sea ducks just about everywhere we went along the coast in September.

Two sea-ducks are slightly back-lit as they swim on the ocean. The female, behind, is a dark golden brown. The male, in front, is mostly white, with a black cap and lower body, and a yellow bill.
