The common eider is a large (50–71 cm (20–28 in) in body length) sea-duck that is distributed over the northern coasts of EuropeNorth America and eastern Siberia. It breeds in Arctic and some northern temperate regions, but winters somewhat farther south in temperate zones, when it can form large flocks on coastal waters. It can fly at speeds up to 113 km/h (70 mph). Source: Wikipedia
