This King Eider definitely deserves the name “King.” It is an explosion of color, with a mix of green, red, yellow, and blue-gray on its face. If I was given the choice of which duck is the most colorful, the King Eider would definitely be in the top five. But this bird isn’t all looks; it has some pretty amazing behaviors too!
