stordriftsulemper

Stordriftsulemper, also known as the common eider, is a species of sea duck found in the northern hemisphere. It is a medium-sized duck with a length of 45-55 cm and a wingspan of 75-85 cm. The male stordriftsulemper has a glossy green head and neck, while the female is brown with a white belly. Both sexes have a white ring around the eye and a white patch on the wing.

The stordriftsulemper is a migratory bird, breeding in the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions of North America and Eurasia. It winters in coastal areas, estuaries, and inland waters. The diet of the stordriftsulemper consists mainly of aquatic plants and invertebrates, which it forages for in shallow water.

The stordriftsulemper is a social bird, often found in groups called rafts. It is a strong swimmer and diver, capable of reaching depths of up to 100 meters. The species is known for its loud, trumpeting calls, which can be heard from great distances.

The stordriftsulemper is listed as Least Concern by the IUCN, due to its large range and stable population. However, it is sensitive to habitat loss and disturbance, particularly during the breeding season. Conservation efforts focus on protecting breeding habitats and reducing human disturbance.
