A female Common Eider duck swimming on calm, blue water. She is shown in profile facing right, displaying her characteristic sloping head and beak shape and her intricately barred brown and black plumage. A tiny, glistening droplet of water hangs from the tip of her beak. The background is a soft, out-of-focus blur of blue and white, with the hazy shape of a male eider visible in the distance.

A flock of eider ducks sits on the rocks at the shore around low tide just after dawn. The left-most duck sits at the highest point on the rocks and flaps her wings as she looks down toward the other ducks.
