The Spectacled Eider is a large sea duck notable for the distinctive 'spectacles' of white feathers around its eyes. It is a highly specialized Arctic species, spending most of its life in cold, marine environments. This eider is known for its deep-diving capabilities to forage for benthic invertebrates.
