Why it matters
The Common Eider is primarily celebrated for its exceptionally soft down, which has been sustainably harvested from nesting sites for centuries to provide premium insulation. These hardy sea ducks are prized by birders for their distinct profile, defined by broad wings and a rounded tail that help them navigate the turbulent coastal waters of the Northern Hemisphere.
