A study of a male Steller's Eider, whose Alaska breeding population was listed as endangered in 1997, although two other breeding populations are found in Arctic Russia. Causation for their decline is not fully understood but is likely due to predation, shooting and metal poisoning. All those subtle green tones in his plumage 💚 Created using drawing ink, pencil and acrylic markers. This gentle-eyed fellow is looking for a new wall to hang on!
