King Eider

King Eider winters in arctic and subarctic marine areas, most notably in the Bering Sea, the west coast of Greenland, eastern Canada and northern Norway. It also occurs annually off the northeastern USA, Scotland and Kamchatka. This species dives for benthic invertebrates like crustaceans, polychaete worms, and molluscs, with mussels being a favoured food. Wintering birds can form large flocks on suitable coastal waters, with some flocks exceeding 100,000 birds.

The King Eider is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.

The King Eider is one of the species to which the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds (AEWA) applies. More

eiders, mostly king eiders, starved because of an unusually late breakup of the sea ice. Like all sea ducks, eiders do not breed until they are at least two years old. Common eiders often nest in colonies along the coast, on barrier islands, and sand spits. The other three species are solitary breeders that usually nest on islands and peninsulas in tundra lakes and ponds. Pair-bonding occurs during winter, so nesting can begin as soon as the pair reaches the breeding grounds. More
